Supreme Court to give decision on Denis O'Brien appeal over Dáil statements |
Mr O'Brien appealed the High Court finding that the courts had no power to intervene on issues raised by him about how the Dáil's Committee on Procedure and Privilege dealt with the statements and his complaints.
He claimed Social Democrats TD Catherine Murphy and Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty revealed information on the floor of the Dáil which made the injunction pointless.Mr O'Brien wanted a declaration that the committee's finding was based on an error in interpreting the relevant Dáil standing order.He claimed the High Court got it wrong when it ruled the courts were not allowed, under the Constitution to adjudicate on how the committee dealt with the matter.
He claimed the committee breached its own rules in how it dismissed his complaint and that meant the court could step in.
