Ex-parachute instructor to get defamation compensation

Paul McMahon, former chief instructor with the Irish Parachute Club, sued the authority over a February 2013 letter and an August 2014 report which contained the false allegations.
The case opened on Thursday before a judge and jury who heard the authority had accepted it defamed him in the 2014 report but was fighting the case on the basis that it was published without malice.
