Court says no to RTÉ injunction application

The High Court has refused RTÉ’s application to fully discharge an injunction restraining publication of certain information relating to the banking relationship between Denis O’Brien and the State-owned Irish Bank Resolution Corporation.

Mr Justice Donald Binchy yesterday said he would not discharge in full the existing order, which applies pending the full hearing of the proceedings against RTÉ, but would amend it to reflect the “dramatic” developments since it was made last month.

He will hear submissions on the final form of the amended order next week.
