Judge Donal Binchy’s written judgment released today giving his reasons for granting an injunction to Denis O’Brien and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation against RTÉ.
Court issues written judgment on O’Brien injunction (RTÉ)
It's quite significant as it tends to show that claim by @CathMurphyTD in Dail was accurate despite accusations of lying. #obrienvrte

“What is particularly curious is that Deputy Murphy is persistent in her claims even though I have made clear that what she is saying is untrue and she has repeatedly made erroneous and untruthful statements about my banking relationship.”
Denis O’Brien yesterday.

So we’re going to see statements this afternoon from James Morrissey and Alan Dukes apologising for their attacks on Catherine Murphy?

I wouldn’t put money on it, … unless I’d been promised a bailout.
*gets popcorn*
i hope you didn’t get that popcorn from a topaz?
Eww, no. From Cineworld *crunches*
There seems to be an accepted reality that neither Catherine Murphy TD nor the public are aware of . Its lucky that schools dont focus on the particularities of living in a sound Republic , not to mention terms like Kleptocracy ….
Boom, this could be the tipping point
Fairplay to Catherine Murphy. She was speaking to Matt Cooper yesterday and was asked about being called a liar by REDACTED and his minion. As classy as ever she refused to comment and said that she’d reserve the right to act on it at a later date.
Seems like REDACTED will get his day in court after all.
Given who Matt Cooper’s employer is I am sure was spot on not falling into that trap!
Well done on all this work Catherine Murphy TD.
Beats jumping airport fences like other Ind. TDs
In fairness to Matt Cooper, he didn’t give REDACTED solicitor an easy time of it when he was on last Friday. It was funny listening to MC explaining the Streisand effect to him. :)
Atticus I agree on the interview with the advisor but I am sure Catherine Murphy knew exactly where not to go!
Yeah that was great. I missed the start of it and it never seemed to make it to podcast/listen back… normally has 3 parts but for that day there’s only one half hour segment :-(

Part two of his show in which he interviewed Morrisey has now been taken off the site. Curiouser and Curiouser.
That’s a story in itself.
TodayFM are absolutely woeful with their Listen Back facility, both online and on the app. Sometimes part of one show is labeled under another show, etc. And if they have to rename the schedules for a bank holiday, for example, you can forget it. They’ll be all over the shop for weeks.
Makes trying to listen from abroad VERY frustrating.
@ Atticus – James Morrissey isn’t his solicitor, he’s his mouthpiece.
as has been mentioned before, one of the shannon fence jumpers brought this up in the dail before catherine murphy. she’s just brought it to a whole new level though.

I guess Shannon rendition flights are seen as some quaint lefty concern, and despite Mick Wallace’s huge role in holding Callinan and Shatter to account, he’ll never be forgiven for his tax evasion by some. Or maybe it’s the hair and pink shirt.
+N379P
So mentioning DOB’s tax avoidance is ok, but Wallace’s evasion isn’t?
What exactly does this prove. There is mention of the actually rate he has.
sorry no mention of the rate
Alan Dukes on Vincent Browne’s show last night:

So, Alan says there was no verbal agreement? There’s a lot of things in that, did he say the whole question/statement from Vinnie is untrue? I hope so.
I hope in a few years TV3 bring out a game where you get to play Vincent Browne, with an inbuilt LA.. Noire-esque mechanic

In a totally unrelated point, Alan dukes is awfully blinky in that cut away shot.
My understanding, since reading [Redacted]’s piece in the Irish Times yesterday morning, is that the documents that were the source of Catherine Murphy’s speech, are the same ones RTE were previously stopped from reporting.
In the piece yesterday, he maintained the docs RTE were going to report on, had been obtained illegally and had been altered. Then Catherine Murphy disclosed the info under Dáil privilege.
In this regard, I am not surprised that today’s revelations back up Catherine Murphy’s statement, and it also show’s she has nothing to answer for, despite Dukes, & Morrisey, & O’ Brien himself trying to paint her as the villain over the last few days.
Catherine Murphy has shown some outstanding character over the last few days. Character & integrity that leaves the main party TDs in the dark.
HELLO ENDA, ARE YOU OUT THERE?
I heard that he is planning a big announcement for tomorrow…. about an NFL match next year.
He’s bringing Garth Brooks to Talbot Street. Altogether now: I’ve got friends in low places…
this twitter site might help….

This whole thing is still not clear enough. I am not sure what this document proves From what I can see in the photos it does not make any reference to interest rate, or approval of a loan extension bypassing the board.
Technically, the extension of an existing loan based on a bluff about previous approval might not constitute a new loan, in the same way as Bill didn’t have sexual relations with Monica.
Read Arthur Beesley in today’s IT.
Has Enda Kenny being put on the missing persons list, what happened to him.
