Lawlor crash woman considers taking libel action
Julie Kushnir, a 32-year-old legal assistant and translator based in Prague, has engaged an Irish legal firm to act on her behalf as a result of the widespread publicity surrounding the death of the former TD in Moscow at the weekend. However, plans by Ms Kushnir’s lawyers to release a statement yesterday were deferred until next week.
A spokesperson for the Galway legal firm of Brian Lynch & Associates said Ms Kushnir was not in a position to react to media commentary about her business association with Mr Lawlor.
