Denis O’Brien
In court today, Mr Cush said the proceedings are against the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission, Ireland and the Attorney General and his side wants declarations in relation to matters mentioned in the context of Mr [Denis] O’Brien’s other proceedings against RTÉ, brought over a planned broadcast concerning Mr O’Brien’s personal banking affairs with IBRC.
It is also understood he will argue that permitting the utterance to be made amounts to breach of his rights under the Constitution and European Convention on Human Rights.

Deport this Maltese parasite
A parasite is exactly what he is.
Take your parasite and jump
If Fine Gael don’t catch you, Anglo will. They will.
The winds might change ;)
He’s fighting for Human Rights and the Constitution against a government that just doesn’t seem to care. And all you can do is criticize?
The last lone survivor gets his thrill in the night
I never thought about it like that Odis.
*checks colour of sky, direction of gravity etc.
I’m truly glad you’ve finally wakened up to what is really happening here Deliverance Country.
It’s not about his rights. Its about all of our rights.
If the glove don’t fit you must acquit
Isn’t Bruce Wayne, the thinking mans billionaire philanthropist of fiction ?
Yet typically our Irish begrudrery, doesn’t allow us to recognise, the actions of one private individual, for the good of the many.
That’s right we’re all too obsessed with Robin
Don’t you mean robbin’
That only leaves one. Be afraid Broadsheet be very afraid.
He’s obviously playing the long game here. Just making sure that people think twice about saying anything about him in public.
Fair play. He’s all about wealth generation-they’ll be unveiling a statue of him in the Law Library any day now.
Our cowardly government are his mates, They will not stand upto him. The government of any country can make your life hell(not that that’s a good thing) but in this case it would be. It would be very easy for judges, not to be made but swayed by government to tell him in legal terms to go Fudge him self.
So he’s basically suing the entire country, symbolically? Marvellous. If he loses, will he leave for good?
If he wins we all get conscripted as call centre workers for Digicel and Irish Water.
He has nothing to do with Irish Water
apart from putting all their water meters in for them, of course.
now watch what o’brien does in five or six years’ time when the water supply gets privatised.
Hey Jon, while you’re gazing into you crystal ball what’s going to happen in the RWC? Will we finally beat Bloody New Zealand?
I meant Siteserv!
But Irish Water shovels millions in his direction – that means he has something to do with it.
No just the useless duffers in the Dáil
they really are generally an appalling disgrace in there, irrespective of the facts in this case
not being facetious
but the Oireachtas is just one of the pillars of the government of your nation
the judiciary and the executive are the other two and it seems they’re not too happy with the other lads ATM ;)
He wants declarations does he?
I’d have no problem with his banking affairs being kept confidential, if the owners of the bank were not the state in this case. Surely the owners of the bank have a right to know of the transactions within the bank it owns, and that’s why we’re having an inquiry of certain transactions at IRBC, of which Denis O’Brien will be a subject of?
There’s something rotten in the state of denmark here.. if there’s supposed to be an inquiry, but he’s still trying his best to silence everyone.
Delighted he is doing this, your move state authorities , I suspect some dusty files from the Moriarty may be dug up ….
John McGuirk (boo, hiss, etc.) on fire again on this issue on Twitter at the moment.
Yeah,im not a fan of his at all but he’s really going for it….
You actually couldn’t make this stuff up … oh wait: http://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2015/05/01/denis-obrien-to-sue-everyone/
Elaine Byrne also worth reading on Twitter on this issue.
For what it’s worth. :)

I don’t think DoB is interested in compensation or change of rules or whatever. But he might be interested in belittling and humiliating politicians and the great unwashed in the processes. Show us our place in the food chain type of thing.
Seriously, fupp that guy. His complete disdain for his own country is sickening.
malta?
Maybe Revenue could do a surprise Audit on ,oh i duuno…every interest he has in the state?
Just for the laugh mind.
Not going to happen while Denis’s wholly-owned political subsidiary is in office.
Follow.
what an absolutely egotistical c0ck. may he choke on his own ego.
Enemy of the State and all round miserable git.
This is baffling. He’s obviously not a stupid man, what can he possibly gain from this?
Hoisted by his own petard is all that springs to mind
An awful lot rotide. With respect to the loolas like Bernard Durkan who impale themselves for the good of the team, there is no point having useful idiots like that going to bat if this is not backed up with actual threats
Trying to dictate the business of the Oireachtas again. We the tax payers are entitled to know what is discussed there. Time to boycott everything DOB. What excuse will Edna & Joan have for their silence this time.
Listen to yourselves, yak yak yak, not a bit of wonder were rid six ways from sunday.
Some brief facts
Enquiry into state (our) bank giving preferential loan rates when full disclosure and due diligence should be applied, is attempted to be quashed.
The politicians of the day attempt to highlight this, he moves to sue the oireachtas, not the politicians mind !
The house is not fg, ff or anyone else. The house is the civil service aparatus for governing the country and by extension is the state, or us if you like. and by extension our bank is also us.
So in essence this guy wants everything his way and he wants to bully the civil service through the judiciary to stfu and not question him or his actions, this guy has way too much power and must be stopped at every turn.
Sometimes it is necessary to suspend rights for the greater good.
With any luck he’ll be “robert maxwell’d” some day soon, not that i personally wish him any ill will, sir, your majesty…
