Denis O’Brien
You’ll recall how it emerged yesterday that Denis O’Brien was seeking a High Court injunction against RTÉ to prevent a report being broadcast today.
Well.
The matter has been adjourned until Tuesday, May 12.
The Irish Independent reports:
“Businessman Denis O’Brien’s injunction application against RTE over a proposed broadcast report in relation to his private banking affairs has been adjourned on consent between the parties in the High Court. The court heard RTE has in the meantime undertaken not to broadcast certain matters in the report which was due to go out today (Friday May 1). Mr O’Brien says there is no public interest in details in relation to his confidential private banking arrangements with Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC).”
“Michael Collins SC, for IBRC, said his client had a separate but related case against RTE and he sought permission for that to be before the court on May 12 along with the O’Brien proceedings.”

Dublin Bus workers stopped for a minute outside Dublin Bus Head office as they marched towards the Dáil starting the first of two planned 48-hour strikes. The dispute is over a plan to put 10% of bus routes out for private tender. The workers are concerned that if more routes are opened up to the private sector in the future, it could trigger a deterioration in the pay and conditions of members.

What you may need to know:
1. The story of the Krays – the twin brothers who controlled organised crime in the East End of London during the 1950s.
2. A double dose of Tom Hardy. Steady ladies.
3. Was he paid twice?
4. The Kray story was already done back in 1990, but that required the skills of two members of Spandau Ballet. And Billie Whitelaw. Morrissey loved it.
5. Tom’s been a very busy boy. He has five movies on the slate for 2015, including Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) and The Revenant (2015), Alejandro González Iñárritu’s follow-up to Birdman (2014).
6. Hardy’s Elton John biopic supposedly started filming last year, but it still doesn’t have a release date or a director. I smell trouble.
7. Broadsheet Prognosis: Malcovich? Malcovich.
Release Date: September 11.
