A 47-year-old man accused of making a threat to kill or cause serious harm to Government Chief Whip Hildegarde Naughton must stay away from the homes and offices of all Galway politicians.
The condition is one of a number of bail conditions imposed on Daragh O'Flaherty at Galway District Court.
Mr O'Flaherty, with an address at New Estate, Clarinbridge is charged with, without lawful excuse making to a named woman, a threat, intending her to believe it would be carried out, to kill or cause serious harm.
The incident is alleged to have occurred on 10 January 2024 at an unknown location in the district court area of Galway.
In court, Garda John Kerrigan said that in reply to the single charge, Mr O'Flaherty said: "There is a boy in a well. He is drowning in vaccine juice. The government keeps throwing people into the well. The media and corporations keep their foot on their head so the establishment can pretend there is no one in the well, and gardaí and the judiciary pretend the well does not exist. The national order must be restored."
Judge Adrian Harris asked Gda Kerrigan to slowly go through the reply as it was quite lengthy.
Mr O'Flaherty repeated the reply in court as Judge Harris took a note.
Garda Kerrigan said the State consented to bail subject to the accused abiding by certain conditions.
Gda Kerrigan said as part of the bail conditions, Mr O'Flaherty must reside at his given address, sign on twice a week at a Galway garda station and have no contact with the alleged injured party.
The accused must also stay away from the homes and offices of all Galway politicians and refrain from posting threatening and abusive content on social media or other internet platforms.
Solicitor John Martin was granted legal aid to represent the accused.
Mr Martin told the court the conditions were broadly agreed but his client was objecting to signing on twice a week and having to refrain from posting threatening and abusive content.
After going into the witness box and affirming, the accused said: "My name is Daragh O'Flaherty and I always tell the truth."
Mr O'Flaherty told the court he was willing to sign on once a week.
He said as part of his work he travels around Ireland "educating" and "motivating" communities.
"It is important to me," he added.
He said he does not get paid for this work, has a low income and has to spend a lot of his money on bus tickets for travel.
Mr Martin said signing on once a week seemed reasonable in the circumstances, but Gda Kerrigan said the State was seeking twice a week due to the seriousness of the charge.
Mr O'Flaherty said the gardaí did not have a problem contacting him and he had made himself available to gardaí during the investigation.
"I want my court case your honour. I want justice," he added.
The accused said he objected to the condition regarding posting material because the interpretation of what is offensive can be "quite broad".
Judge Harris said there are already laws in place regarding threatening and abusive behaviour, and after a brief conversation with the judge, Mr O'Flaherty agreed to abide by the condition.
Judge Harris said he would accede to the defence application to have the signing on condition reduced to once a week.
Daragh O'Flaherty was remanded on bail to appear again in court on 13 March for directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions on how the case is to proceed.
