Articles were not part of some 'crazy conspiracy' to damage Denis O'Brien: Journalist

Denis O’Brien’s inclusion in articles about a report concerning the exposure of Irish banks in 2008 was not part of some “crazy conspiracy” to damage him, journalist Tom Lyons has told a High Court jury.

Mr Lyons said Mr O’Brien was included in the Sunday Business Post articles of March 15th 2015 because he was named in that report by Price WaterhouseCoopers (PWC) as among the 22 biggest borrowers from Irish banks in 2008.
