Defamation judgment over newspaper article set aside

A judgment for defamation of character against Associated Newspapers (Ireland) Limited in favour of businesswoman and former model Kay Mulcaire has been set aside.

Judge Jacqueline Linnane awarded Ms Mulcaire her legal costs for two court applications seeking judgment in default of defence against the owner of Irish Mail on Sunday.

Ms Mulcaire runs Kay’s Boutique in Adare, Co Limerick, and Isobel in Rathkeale, Co Limerick.
