Ó Snodaigh says Sunday World's 'blind eye to car-jacking' article defamed him
An article which Dublin Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh claims wrongly accused him of failing to report a serious crime to gardaí has been removed from the Sunday World newspaper's website, the High Court heard today.
The TD has brought legal proceedings arising from an article in the newspaper, published on January 9 last under the headline "Aengus Turns Blind Eye To Car-Jacking", which referred to the theft of Mr O Snodaigh's car from outside his Dublin home on the night/early morning of December 28 last. The car was later found burned out.
