Paul Byrne’s counsel told the High Court on 4 June 2024 that his action against Virgin Media television had been settled in its entirety following mediation.

The action concerned disciplinary proceedings brought after a report about the death of a boy in County Waterford. Byrne had sought injunctions over what he claimed was a flawed process; Virgin Media denied his claims.

The settlement terms were not disclosed in open court. Mr Justice Mark Sanfey welcomed the resolution, and Byrne’s counsel asked that the case be struck out.
