Kneecap have successfully parlayed their ‘terrorism charge’ into a PR coup.
In advance of their court appearance today, they have been putting up billboards in London.
RTÉ news also has details on their extremely formidable legal team:
Last week, Kneecap announced Mr Ó hAnnaidh’s legal team.
It comprises Gareth Peirce, solicitor for Gerry Conlon and the Guildford Four, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and Rosalind Comyn, who has represented Extinction Rebellion protesters in court.
His team also includes Darragh Mackin from Phoenix Law, Brenda Campbell KC, Jude Bunting KC and Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh KC, who was part of South Africa’s legal team in its case against Israel, accusing the country of genocide.
In response to a question of who is paying, they had this witty response:
