RTÉ can cross-examine Declan Ganley over documents for defamation case, Court of Appeal rules

RTÉ may cross-examine businessman Declan Ganley over deficiencies in his discovery of documents for his defamation action over a Prime Time programme broadcast in 2008 about his life and business interests, the Court of Appeal has ruled.

Among various complaints about Mr Ganley’s discovery, RTÉ complained about a lack of documents concerning the Anglo Adriatic Fund. Mr Ganley had said those were lost as a result of looting and civil disorder in Albania and as a result of damp and mildew.
