    Read about it here if you have an Irish Times account, or haven't read it already this week.

    A victory for democracy against a billionaire who himself controls alot of Irish media and tried to silence the Dail before. We should not be allowed to be controlled by the thought police belonging to the wealthy elite.

    Well chuffed for the demagogue, he can keep his fragile ego to himself.

    Does this mean we can say he likes to suck on Bulls testicles while dressed as Furry, or do restrictions still apply?

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

    You're not wrong but you might want to be careful what you say about him. He really doesn't have a sense of humour about those who are critical of him.

    Keep all those nice thoughts on the inside. :D

    He threatened Waterford Whispers as well but they in unique of all Irish media publications stood alone and told him to feck off! :) The rest of the Irish media cowered barring the SBP, that's how much control a billionaire can have over the media.

    Just on principle no one should never give in to strong arm tactics.
    This case shows that the monopolistic press mogul got knocked back on his arse.
    But even if this hadn't happened people should never be afraid to tell the truth or put principle and what's right above the threats and attacks of a malicious, bloated tyrant.

    It's a pity his first name was "Dennis", if it was "Stephen" then his initials would be much more appropriate.

    It should be pointed out though, that his willingness to take to the courts still has a silencing effect, regardless of his losses.

    Yes. It came out during the court case that he did pay back everything he owed.

    Brilliant result.
    DOB tried to bully the SBP but they fought back and won.
    Hope other media outlets are now prepared to fight this bully.
    Being close to Govt ministers doesn’t always pay off.

    A glorious day for journalism against the super wealthy
    https://www.rte.ie/news/courts/2019/0301/1033762-media-case-reaction/
    "We stood up to him, we fought for a full month, we stuck to our guns, we told the truth, did the right thing and thankfully the jury came down on our side," said Mr Lyons.

    The paper's former editor, Ian Kehoe, said the decision was "a vindication of what we chose to publish".

    "Newspapers have never been under more pressure and this isn't about the Sunday Business Post, this is about the right of every media organisation in this country to publish what is genuinely in the public interest and of public importance," said Mr Kehoe.

    "The easy thing to do is to come in and cave and not to fight these cases, but we fought it at every step of the way because we believed we were right to publish what we did, and thankfully the jury have come down in that way."

    Mr Lyons said that he hopes the verdict will make "people like Denis O’Brien think twice before suing" and using up a large amount of time and resources.

    "We wrote a very fair article which was in the public interest, and was quite clearly so, and yet we’ve had to spend one month down here defending what was always a perfectly good article," he said.

    They are investigating him a long long time at this stage.

    They have been investigating him now for about 4 years.

    Apparently they were seeking to interview him.

    If he was washing green diesel out his back they would have sent Delta Force to boot in his front door years ago.

    That's his whole stragegy, he wants any journalist who doesn't work for him to be silenced by fear of his threats to sue.
    Seamus Dooley of the National Union of Journalists has told RTE R1’s Drivetime that since 1998 Denis O’Brien has taken out 70 separate legal actions against Irish journalists/media outlets.
    https://www.broadsheet.ie/2011/11/04/a-boy-named-sue/

    When he threatened to sue Vincent Brown the legal letter sent out even mentioned that his family home was at risk. He wants journalists to be scared of him so they don't look into his affairs.
