Gemma Greene is a 24-year-old woman from Coolock, Dublin, whose Instagram has reached almost seven million people since jetting off to Spain in the wake of her run in with gardai..
She admitted to putting her foot down and leading up to 20 garda cars and a helicopter down the M50 from Ballymun to Bray, Co Wicklow, and back on March 1.
Gemma was unmasked as the driver that caused chaos in Dublin earlier this month, posting multiple pictures and videos which appeared to show her in Dublin Airport, and later cruising down a motorway in the direction of Barcelona, Spain, on Monday.
She has almost 9,000 followers on the social media platforms on which she posts regularly.
Speaking about the incident that sparked the chase, Greene previously claimed to the Irish Star earlier this month that she only stopped because she was running out of fuel.
“On the Monday I was driving out of the estate and I seen (a) guard…and he was gonna pull me over.
“So I said I’m not f*cking listening to him today. He didn’t even put the blue lights on, he didn’t even pull me to stop, I just put the foot down and went for it,” she sensationally claimed.
Ms Greene then led gardai on a high-speed chase down Dublin’s M50, that ended up in Bray Co Wicklow, and all the way back to Ballymun on the night of Monday, March 1.
And in a brazen boast to the paper, Gemma appeared to take pride in the fact that she drove faster than the garda cars pursuing her.
“I went straight for the M50. But as I went for the M50, didn’t two X5 gardai jeeps see me. So obviously your man got onto them on the radio to come after me.
“So it started from there and went all the way down to Bray and all the way back up.
“So they threw the sting out three times, tried to box me in three times, couldn’t do it.
“My car has 300 brake so it’s chipped, so it’d be faster than any of their cars,” she claimed.
Ms Greene made it to the Hampton Wood Drive area in Ballymun at around 6:50pm - where she was stopped - at this point with many garda vehicles surrounding her.
“The only reason I went home was because I was running out of diesel so I knew I’d make it home,” she said.
“So when I pulled up, I got out and I put my arms up in the air like to surrender and then one of the guards rugby tackled me, and then another guard rugby tackled me and three and four more other guards rugby tackled me,” she claimed.
“I had to pull the car over for them. They were not catching me.
“So I was down in the police station for a few hours and I got two dangerous driving charges.”
Greene, who was being pursued by up to 20 Garda cars and a helicopter, was heard singing to music and taunting the cops in a live-streamed video of the chase that she posted to her own social media.
But in these latest social media posts, Greene has shown off that her page has reached almost seven million people since she live-streamed her M50 chase and subsequently jetted out of the country.
And the Coolock native has cheekily changed her Instagram bio to an emoji sequence of a small car being chased by multiple cop cars - in reference to her own chase.
At one point in the video, she is spotted hurling what was believed to be a can of deodorant out the window at the Gardai who were following her.
Gardai confirmed that the woman was arrested and taken to Ballymun Garda Station, where she was then released and is due to appear before the courts “at a later date.”
While no court date has yet been set, and Ms Greene is not charged before a Judge yet - she will appear in court in connection with the incident, which is still under investigation.
