Denis O’Brien to testify on use of Dáil privilege

Mr O’Brien maintains a Dáil committee failed to “properly police” Social Democrats TD Catherine Murphy and Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty in relation to their statements and the court should find those amounted to “unwarranted interference” with the judicial domain.
His counsel Michael Cush SC argued the TDs knew, when making their statements in May and June 2015, that Mr O’Brien had initiated proceedings to prevent RTÉ publishing details of his banking affairs with State-owned Irish Bank Resolution Corporation.
