    IKEA pay their costs, she pays her costs - which are probably no win no fee.

    I used to work in a large Dublin dept store and the wife of a head honcho of a huge chain of nationwide shops took and won a defamation case for being asked for a receipt on exit from the store. It was sickening.

    I notice is many cases like this that it never mentions the solicitor representing the claimant when they lose these cases. Is there a reason why except for bad publicity?

    She only had her shelf to blame. She had no Ikea what she was getting herself into.

    Try reading more than the headline.


    Mr Murray, who appeared with Donnough Shaffrey of Shaffrey Solicitors, told the court that Mr Kavanagh denied having spoken aggressively to Ms Byrne and said the store was entitled under the defence of qualified privilege to make a legitimate inquiry of a customer.

    Now you go back and read it word by word and tell me which solicitor represented Mrs Byrne who lost the case.

    I’ll wait for your response…..
