Facebook Ireland has apologised unreservedly to broadcaster Miriam O’Callaghan over fake ads on the social media platform which used her name and image.

The Prime Time presenter received the unreserved apology as part of the settlement of her High Court action over several defamatory and untrue adverts that were posted on the social media platform.
