A GP who was a key speaker at an illegal anti-mask protest during the COVID-19 pandemic, has been suspended for a third time after a tribunal found “no evidence of remorse” for her actions.

Dr Mary Anne McCloskey, who worked in general practice in Derry, Northern Ireland at the time of the pandemic, had a previously unblemished career over 40 years.
