Widow’s court bid to halt ‘Nazi’ programme to be heard on Monday

PROCEEDINGS taken by the widow of the late educational publisher Albert Folens to restrain RTÉ from using an interview with her husband in a programme entitled Ireland’s Nazis will be heard in the High Court on Monday.

Juliette Folens, whose 86-year-old husband died four years ago, secured an interim injunction this week restraining RTÉ, film production company Tile Films Ltd and a journalist from using material in an interview that her husband gave to a journalist 20 years ago.

Ms Folens is also seeking an order for discovery and inspection, allowing her to see the second and final part of the Hidden Ireland-Ireland’s Nazis series which features her husband.
