Football coach gets €15k over defamatory texts
Frank McClelland, of Glenmalure Court, St James’ Walk, Rialto, Dublin, told the court that in Mar 2009, he was a goalkeeper coach for aspiring footballers at Crumlin United FC.
During training, he had consoled an upset youngster by putting his arms around him and telling him, “you are still the best”. Later, he had seen two defamatory text messages about him, sent by Ronan Kelly, of Stillorgan Heath, Stillorgan, Co Dublin.
