Denis O'Brien suing the country

so first he silenced the media, failed to silence social media and now is taking legal action against the state. One man shouldn't have so much power.

Why?

Sheldons Brain

Not the country, only the state.

Riskymove

anyone can sue the state

the Courts will either agree with him or won't...same as anyone

as shown recently the Courts decided the Dail reports could be reported on by media, so it isn't like he always gets his way

Can anyone sue the state? Or is it just anyone with money?

Some people aren't happy unless they're involved in some court proceeding or other.

So basically he wants to screw the taxpayers.
Hasn't he form in this regard.
After all he did leg it to Malta to avoid contributing as a taxpayer.

What an arrogant pr1ck. Friends in high places not helping him out enough so he sues them. The tax exile cnut should be banned from the country.

Ironically he is suing the state for intervening in another court case he has on the go

You'd think with all the cash he's saved from his numerous scams he would sort out a decent barnet for himself, the state of him!

Anyone can. I myself have sued the State, the United Nations, that funny-looking geezer wot runs the ECB, the Intergalactic Quorum of Twelve Elder Poltroons, and God. My solicitor is a bit mental Ted.

Hope he wins . Shouldn't have gombeens spewing any old rubbish and potentially ruining peoples reputations at will.
Mary lou take note

+1.

However, if he wins, it'll be "rabble rabble, corrupt judges, rabble rabble," etc. etc.

Look up the meaning of gombeen will you?

After you have done that you might realise it applies more to Dirty Denis and Filthy Gael. And no, I don't give a flying you-know-what about S.F, Mary Lou , 32 counties or the rest of the crap so don't bother.

I dislike o'brien as much as the next man but he is entitled to protection under the law like anybody.

Ah yea his reputation is in tatters now. We all thought so highly of him a few weeks back before deputy Murphy went on the record...

I'm going to sue the country. Everybody. Yes, even you, who is reading this.

If he wins he will effectively be suing the country since any money he's awarded will be taxpayer money, not to mention the money the State will fork out on legal fees.

Money "can help"?

Does boards.ie have an 'understatement of the day' feature?

Well it'll make a change from HSE hatchet-merchants costing tens of millions per fcuk-up. :pac:

Whether he has or hasn't been wronged, previous statements by his solicitor indicate he believes he's above the law i.e. stressing his job creation record, as if it was relevant to the Dail statements. Due process has to happen, but I hope he loses.
