Journalist Paul Byrne: 'I had a tough time. I want to thank everyone who lent their support to me'

The former Virgin Media correspondent says he has no plans to take a break following the settlement of his case against the broadcaster this week

Paul Byrne: 'I had a tough time. I want to thank everyone who lent their support to me, who reached out. I spent a lot of time at my mum and dad’s grave talking to them. It helped a lot'

Journalist Paul Byrne says prayer and the kindness of people helped him through the last few difficult months as he sued his former employer over its decision to bring internal disciplinary proceedings against him.

Mr Byrne, who announced his departure from Virgin Media after a settlement in the case on Tuesday, also revealed how he visited his parents’ graves and asked them for help during the process.
