TV3 agrees not to rebroadcast footage of sisters

TV3 has consented to the making of a court order restraining it from rebroadcasting archive material it holds of two sisters leaving a court where a nephew was tried and convicted of murder and drugs charges.

Judge Matthew Deery was told in the Circuit Civil Court that Mary McKeon, Galtymore Rd, Drimnagh, Dublin 12, and her sister Lorraine Reilly, had sought injunctions under defamation legislation against TV3.

Ms McKeon said they were both filmed leaving the court in 2009 in the company of Natasha McEnroe, girlfriend of Brian Rattigan, aged 32, during his trial for the murder of Declan Gavin, aged 21, and the handing down of a life sentence and 17-year sentence on Rattigan for the murder and drugs offences.
