Judge sets out case for RTÉ injunction

Denis O’Brien and IBRC were entitled to an injunction preventing RTÉ broadcasting details of the businessman’s personal banking arrangements on grounds, including that “no evidence” of “a failure of corporate governance” at the bank had been established, the judge who granted the injunction has said.

Mr Justice Donald Binchy in the High Court issued a written judgment giving reasons for granting an injunction to Denis O’Brien and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation against RTÉ.

The injunctions prevent RTÉ from broadcasting confidential details of Mr O’Brien’s personal banking arrangements with the IBRC.
