RedFM presenter resolves High Court case against station

Summary

David 'Dave' Macardle, a long‑time presenter of the 'Dave Mac's Drive' programme on Cork's RedFm, has had his High Court action against the station resolved. The court heard that the proceedings had been settled and could be struck out, though no agreement details were disclosed. The dispute arose after RedFm demanded that Macardle stop presenting the show from Dublin three days a week and instead host it from its Cork studio all five weekdays. Macardle's lawyers had earlier secured a temporary injunction allowing him to continue the dual‑location arrangement. The station, represented by Brian Conroy BL, denied wrongdoing and had intended to oppose the action. The court noted that the parties had reached undertakings permitting Macardle to present two days a week from Cork and three days a week from Dublin, and that the station would not replace him or terminate his position pending the outcome of the case.
