Newspaper allowed see garda report in defamation case

The defamation case is by former Garda Lynda Meegan over an article on September 14, 2014 under the headline ‘Convicted bomb-maker was recipient of Garda intelligence’.

A High Court judge has ruled a newspaper group may inspect, subject to redaction of material that might identify informants, a Garda report prepared for the Minister for Justice seven years ago.

Times Newspapers Ltd sought to inspect the report in preparation of its defence to a defamation action brought against it by a former garda over an article in The Sunday Times.
