Galway Bay fm newsroom – Fianna Fáil Galway East election candidate Colm Keaveney has begun defamation proceedings against Independent News & Media.
It’s in relation to an article about Denis O’ Brien and the Red Flag lobbying firm.
Mr. O’ Brien claims that Red Flag is involved in a conspiracy to damage him and that he received a computer memory stick which contained, in the midst of a large amount of material, a draft of a Dáil speech by Colm Keaveney in June.
Mr. Keaveney has told the Irish Times that the speech in the Dáil was ‘entirely composed’ by himself.
