Declan Ganley received an RTÉ apology in a settled High Court defamation case on 22 October 2020.

The proceedings concerned a Prime Time programme broadcast on 27 November 2008, which Ganley claimed damaged his reputation and caused distress.

RTÉ accepted that a reference to Kosta Tribecka’s death was unrelated to Ganley or any business connected with him.

The High Court struck out the proceedings with the parties’ consent, while the settlement’s financial details were not disclosed in court.
