Thomas Talbot’s appeal against a High Court defamation finding was dismissed by the Supreme Court on 9 October 2014.

The court rejected his claims against Hermitage Golf Club, an officer and the Golfing Union of Ireland.

The appeal followed a High Court ruling that a reference to “handicap-building” had not defamed him.
