Claim of undue pressure fom Mail ‘ludicrous’

A NEWSPAPER editor yesterday rejected claims from author Justine Delaney-Wilson that his reporters put her under so much pressure she had to destroy her taped recordings of a minister confessing to taking cocaine.

Ted Verity, editor of the Irish Mail on Sunday, said the author’s attempt to blame the publication for her decision to get rid of the admission was ludicrous and defamatory.

“Justine Delaney-Wilson’s attempt to blame the Irish Mail on Sunday for her decision to destroy the alleged tape of her interview with the ‘cocaine-snorting minister’ is ludicrous,” said Mr Verity.
