What an admirable young man.
“Today marks the end of a long and difficult chapter of frustration and censorship.
I took this legal action against the BBC not solely out of anger, but out of a need for accountability and dignity for Ashling, for myself, our families, and for all victims who deserve to have their voices heard without such harsh criticism or judgment.
I welcome the resolution of these legal proceedings and the acknowledgements made by the BBC in their statement in open court today.
I hope this serves as a reminder to all media organisations of the high level of responsibility that comes with running such public platforms.
This was never just about me, it was about truth, fairness, and decency.
To everyone who has supported me either in person, by post, text messages, phone calls, social media posts and comments over the last three and a half years I can now finally come forward and say from the bottom of my heart thanks to each and every one of you.
Don’t think for a second I didn’t see all your amazing support across all platforms, it was humbling to say the least.
I’d like to also thank my lawyers, Ronan, Gerard and Marianne for their fantastic guidance, support and professionalism throughout this entire legal proceeding.
I now move forward, finally free to use my voice again, to honour Ashling and to advocate for the changes we desperately require in this country, for the increased safety measures we so clearly need, and for a society that listens to its people, free of gaslighting, blacklisting or censorship.
We all have a lot more in common than what separates us.
Let’s honour Ashling by building a better and safer Ireland, we all know we can do so much better.”
Kitty Holland is a rotten bitch.
