The jury in the action by Denis O’Brien alleging he was defamed in articles published in the Sunday Business Post have begun considering their verdict.
The 11 jurors, eight men and three women, were further instructed by Mr Justice Bernard Barton on Thursday, the 15th day of the case, before they were sent out at about 12.45pm to begin their deliberations. Mr O’Brien is suing Post Publications Ltd, publisher of the SBP, over articles published over six pages in the newspaper of March 15th, 2015.Their focus was a confidential PwC report given to the government in November 2008 which looked at the exposure of Ireland’s banks in 2008. Journalist Tom Lyons got a copy from a source in 2015 and shredded it shortly after the articles were published to protect the source.
