Denis O'Brien seeks to halt release of 'extraordinary' dossier

Billionaire businessman Denis O’Brien has told the High Court a memory stick supplied anonymously to him contained an "extraordinary" dossier of documents mostly unfavourable to his interests and discloses an alleged concerted and unlawful conspiracy to damage him personally and commercially.

Mr O’Brien alleges a forensic examination of the dossier by a firm, Epsion, indicates Dublin-based public relations firm Red Flag Consulting Ltd, whose executives include Gavin O'Reilly, former CEO of Independent News & Media and former senior exceutive with INM, Karl Brophy, are linked to the alleged conspiracy.
