DRA member defends judgement delays

Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA) panel member Niall Dolan has defended the DRA's decision to take its time over cases, which he says have to be examined in minute detail before a ruling is made.

Dolan was responding to comments in today's Irish Independent by journalist Martin Breheny who was baffled that a 152-year old British court ruling was referenced in a decision last week in relation to a judgement on Monaghan footballer Paul Finlay.
