Exclusion of Greens was not unfair, says court

A High Court judge said yesterday the criteria used by RTÉ to exclude Green Party leader Eamon Ryan from the televised party leaders’ debate was not unfair or irrational or disproportionate.
The legal challenge was dismissed hours before the debate went on air. It featured seven leaders from Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, Labour, Sinn Féin, People Before Profit, the Social Democrats, and Renua.
