A jury in a High Court defamation action taken by two lawyers against businessman Denis O’Brien is expected to begin its deliberations on Friday.
Darragh Mackin and Gavin Booth, solicitors at Belfast firm Phoenix Law, claim Mr O’Brien and his spokesman James Morrissey implied in a October 2016 press release that they acted for and received payment from the IRA.
