Businessman Denis O'Brien's appeal is over statements made in the Dáil about his banking affairs
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 says 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 wants a declaration that the committee's finding was based on an error in interpreting the relevant Dáil standing order.He claims 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.
Mr O'Brien claimed his constitutional rights were deliberately damaged by the deputies and making a complaint to the committee was his only remedy.
