Dunnes 'justified in barring' teenager from Dublin store after failed defamation action

A judge has told Dunnes Stores that they would be justified in barring an 18-year-old man from shopping in their store in future after he took an unsuccessful €75,000 defamation action against them.

Judge Jacqueline Linnane heard in the Circuit Civil Court that Adam Mulhall of Castlegrange Dale, Castaheany, Dublin 15, had been shopping in the Dunnes on Main Street, Ongar Village, Dublin 15, with three of his friends on 14th October, 2017, when the defamation allegedly occurred.
