Ben Gilroy is an Irish political activist and conspiracy theorist. A founder and former leader of Direct Democracy Ireland, Gilroy was once a campaigner against evictions and has been described as a "serial litigant" for his multiple legal actions taken against Irish banks. During one of these court hearings, Gilroy threatened and abused the court in a written affidavit and was charged with contempt of court as a result. He was sentenced to 80 hours of community service but failed to attend. As a consequence of his failure to attend the community service, he was subsequently sentenced to 3 months' imprisonment. Gilroy has republished a number of conspiracy theories relating to the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland.
