Denis O'Brien and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation secured a High Court injunction against RTÉ, reported on 3 June 2015.

The order prevents RTÉ from broadcasting details of Mr O'Brien's personal banking arrangements with IBRC. The court said no substantive evidence established a likely failure of corporate governance connected to those dealings.

The redacted judgment said banking confidentiality serves both private rights and the public interest, while acknowledging that confidentiality is not absolute.
