Date Set for Defamation Case Irish Times October 12, 2011 http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2011/1012/breaking56.html The defamation action by Fr Kevin Reynolds against RTÉ has been listed for hearing before the High Court next month. The case was included in a list to fix dates for trials involving a jury dealt with by the court yesterday. When the case was called, Frank Callanan SC, for Fr Reynolds, said it involved the defamation of his client and he was very anxious to get a date as soon as possible. Mr Justice Eamon De Valera said he would list the matter for November 15th. It could run for up to four days, he was told. Fr Reynolds, a Mill Hill missionary and Parish Priest of Ahascragh, Co Galway, has brought the action arising from a programme related to his time as a missionary in Kenya which was broadcast last May in the Prime Time Investigates series. RTÉ has publicly apologised to Fr Reynolds for the defamation saying he was entirely innocent of the allegations. |
