Articles in newspaper were about Ireland not Denis O'Brien, former editor tells trial

Former Sunday Business Post editor Ian Kehoe has told a High Court jury articles in the newspaper in March 2015 were not about businessman Denis O'Brien but about Ireland and a report that "cast a lie" about what the banks were telling everyone at the time of the financial crash in 2008.

Mr O'Brien has sued Post Publications, publisher of the SBP, claiming the articles wrongly meant he was among a “gang” of 22 borrowers who “wrecked the country” and they defamed him and injured his reputation.
