Radio station loses court battle to stay on air

Radio Kilkenny board chairman Joe Reidy said last night it was unlikely that those behind the station will be appealing yesterday's High Court decision. More than 20 staff employed by the station will lose their jobs.

"The matter will have to go before a board meeting on Tuesday night next. But my own feeling is that this is the end of the line for Radio Kilkenny and that appealing this decision would only be throwing good money after bad," Mr Reidy said.
