Denis O’Brien
Colm Keena, in The Irish Times, reports:
Businessman Denis O’Brien has lodged an appeal in the case he took against the Dáil, the Dáil Committee on Procedures and Privileges and the State over comments made in the parliament about his financial affairs.
…Papers lodged with the courts indicate he is taking his case to the Court of Appeal. However, it is understood he will also seek to have his case go directly to the Supreme Court on the basis that it involves important constitutional issues.
As part of his appeal he will be seeking to overturn the High Court’s ruling that he pay the legal costs of the seven-day hearing.
There you go now.

The only man in Ireland who can afford to go to court.
+lol
if you ever needed an example of ‘more money than sense’, there it is.

Stephen Ireland.
Turn on MTV and behold the filthy rich senselessness
The very sad thing about it is that persistence, allied with means, will probably yield him the result he wants ;-(
On to the European Court if he can’t make it happen here!
Denis….or Dermot Connolly?
Good man Denis. Bank records are private.
Best of luck in the Supreme Court.
Eventually he will get a judge who will give him the result he wants.
Is Michael Lowry a judge yet?
He’s just proving it all to be true by doing his best to hide it.
There is actually a very important question here about balancing the rights of parliamentarians to speak freely on important issues and the rights of citizens to privacy.
Hows O’Brien worse than people he is suing? I used to dislike him, but i think he’s a lesser evil than what is feeding in the Dail year in year out. Go Denis.
