Denis O'Brien loses Supreme Court appeal over TDs' Dáil statements on banking affairs

The court, sitting at NUI Galway, delivered its unanimous judgment just after 10am today.

The Supreme Court has unanimously dismissed Denis O’Brien’s appeal over statements made by two TDs in the Dáil about his banking affairs.

Any interference by the courts in how an Oireachtas committee had dealt with Mr O’Brien’s complaint over the TDs’ actions is impermissible under the Constitution, the seven-judge court ruled.
