Action against Sinead O'Connor by former manager "amicably resolved"

Summary

In a High Court case, former manager Fachtna O'Ceallaigh and his company TAL Management sued singer Sinead O'Connor for breach of contract and defamation. O'Ceallaigh alleged that the management firm had provided services for several years, that a new agreement was substituted in 2011 but not executed, and that O'Connor terminated the agreement in April 2012 without notice, seeking over €500,000 in damages and a declaration that the termination was invalid. He also claimed O'Connor defamed him in a 2012 open letter on her website and a fan site, in response to a newspaper article about their commercial split. O'Connor denied ever having an agreement with TAL or O'Ceallaigh and denied defamation. After negotiations, the parties reached an amicable settlement. The court adjourned the matter to November to implement the agreement, and no further details were disclosed in open court.
