RTÉ refused disclosure order in Norris case

The High Court has refused to order the disclosure of documents RTÉ says it needs to defend a defamation case brought by Senator David Norris.

It arises out of an interview by journalist Helen Lucy Burke on the Liveline radio programme in 2011 when Mr Norris unsuccessfully ran for the presidency of Ireland.

Mr Norris is suing RTÉ and Ms Burke, claiming he was defamed in the broadcast.
