FG's Paudie Coffey says paper defamed him by likening him to 18th century highwayman
Fine Gael Senator Paudie Coffey believes the loss of his Dáil seat in 2016 by 300 votes was due to a newspaper article about county boundary changes which likened him to an 18th century robber, the High Court has heard.
He is suing Iconic Newspapers, publishers of the Kilkenny People over the June 15, 2016, article headed "Coffey the Robber".
