Ex-GAA player Brian Nolan gets €310,000 damages over swinger parties articles
A former Kildare Gaelic footballer has been awarded €310,000 damages after a High Court judge found he was “grossly defamed” in two Sunday World articles concerning swingers parties and the sex trade.
Mr Justice Tony O’Connor said the articles published in 2012 and 2013 amounted to a “very serious” libel and had an "immense" impact on Brian Nolan. On a scale of one to 100, the defamation ranked at 75.
