Judge Martin Nolan described the attack by Louth man Michael Quinn on Ruth O'Rourke, also known as Izzy Kamikaze, in September 2020 as cowardly.Dara Hayes BL, prosecuting, outlined to Dublin Circuit Criminal Court how on 12 September last year Ms Kamikaze, 58, had attended a rally in the city centre in support of frontline workers.
She said her presence and the presence of her friends was then highlighted by a speaker from the platform and hundreds of protesters then turned to them. She said when she got back to her feet she stood for around five minutes "to exercise my right to stand in the street". Video footage of the assault and the mob's behaviour afterwards was released online and Ms Kamikaze said that this meant "a lot of people came to their senses about how dangerous it is to ignore far-right protests".
His 48 previous convictions include assault, violent disorder, affray, burglary, theft and public order offences. Mr McQuaid said Quinn takes full responsibility for his actions and that is his reason for his early plea of guilty.
Izzy is a national treasure best wishes to her.

The nazi coward. Should have got more.
babsbear well said!
RTE have given this more coverage than they did the gang-rape of a woman by foreign nationals in the summer of 2018.
No mask? Wtf
IzzyKamikaze Congrats Izzy, thats a great interview. Maybe now the clowns will realize they are dealing with a true force of nature. Keep safe and keep going and never let the btards grind you down
He’s lucky that it’s not a murder charge that he faces.
48 previous convictions.... These racist, bigoted green fascists have to be confronted every day from now on. Well done Izzy!
IzzyKamikaze Thugs looking for a cause (excuse).
So glad this thug got his comeuppance, no-one should strike anyone on the head at a rally, no matter who you support or don't support, assaulting someone like that is vicious and unnecessary
Maybe it knocked some sense into her
