She pleaded not guilty to the charge at the Criminal Courts of Justice in Dublin on Tuesday and walked away after her case was dismissed.
She told the PA news agency: “It got dismissed, so that’s it. Sin e. It got dismissed without prejudice so they could bring it back if they wanted to, but that’s it. I’m very happy. It’s great to have it out of the way.”
Members of Extinction Rebellion Ireland staged a protest outside the courthouse in support of Ms Murphy.
