O'Brien's lawyers say RTE application 'too clever by half'

RTE has told the High Court that Denis O’Brien is hanging a 'Sword of Damocles' over the entire media by seeking to maintain a court order which prevents the broadcast of his private bank details with IBRC.

Lawyers for the State broadcaster told the court that the injunction granted last month has been rendered "pointless" by comments in the Dáil last night, and it should now be discharged.
