Denis O’Brien seeks court injunction against RTÉ

Businessman Denis O’Brien is seeking a High Court injunction against RTÉ preventing what he says is a planned broadcast report about certain details in relation to his private banking affairs.

Michael Cush, counsel for Mr O’Brien, was given permission yesterday by Mr Justice Paul Gilligan to serve at short notice his intention to seek the injunction on RTÉ.

The application was made ex-parte with only one side represented and the matter comes back before the judge today.
