A JURY has failed to reach a verdict in a defamation action brought by a Donegal man over an article by Sunday Times columnist Brenda Power.The jury was discharged and the case will now be relisted for another hearing before a new High Court jury unless a settlement is reached in the meantime.John McCauley (46), a property consultant originally from Donegal but now based in Dubai and Lithuania, had sued over a article in which Ms Power criticised him for taking a midwife to court over the interruption of him filming the birth of his first child. After a second day of deliberations, the jury said it was unable to reach a unanimous or majority verdict in relation to one of two questions they were asked. It had reached a verdict on a question of whether the words used in the article were true or false insofar as they allege facts.However, it was unable to reach either a unanimous or majority verdict in relation to a second question over whether the words constituted honest comment on a matter of public interest.The foreman told Mr Justice Eamon deValera the jury felt that they would not reach a majority decision.Mr Justice deValera said in those circumstances he would discharge the jury which comprised seven women and four men as one juror was excused last Friday due to a prior holiday commitment. The judge, who said it was the longest time a jury had been out in his experience, thanked them and excused them from jury service for ten years.The case, which lasted five days, centred on a March 2009 article written following publicity surrounding another case brought by Mr McCauley against midwife Irish Halbach and Mount Carmel Hospital in Dublin. Mr McCauley claimed Ms Halbach had acted unreasonably by stopping him filming just after his daughter Simone’s birth by C-section in 2006. That case was dismissed in the Circuit Court.He claimed Ms Power’s subsequent column about that case portrayed him as having no consideration or care for his partner or his baby.It showed him as “some kind of head case running around with a camera”, he told the court.JURY FAILS TO REACH VERDICT IN DONEGAL ‘HEADCASE’ LIBEL ACTION was last modified: July 17th, 2013 by BrendaShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Tags:JURY FAILS TO REACH VERDICT IN DONEGAL ‘HEADCASE’ LIBEL ACTION

A Letterkenny-based Councillor says that the new Joe Bonnar Road could add to the town’s already-congested traffic issues.Councillor Dessie Shiels says the new road, which will join the Port Road with the Neil T Blaney Road, that a roundabout should be constructed.“The Council should consider the proper layout and road markings of this section of the Neil T Blaney Road leading to the Polestar Roundabout in order that traffic tailbacks can be better health with and traffic movements improved,” Councillor Shiels said. The Council has confirmed that traffic lights will be installed at the junction of the Neil T Blaney Road/Joe Bonnar Road to regulate traffic movements.“The Polestar Roundabout is above capacity at present and any solution to this will be outside the remit of the Joe Bonnar Project,” the Council said.“The Council is currently reviewing options with respect to improving the junction layout at Polestar Roundabout and solutions shall be disced once same are sufficiently developed.”Councillor Shiels said that a roundabout was the only solution to the issue at the Neil T Blaney Road/Joe Bonnar Road junction and that traffic lights were a ‘short-sighted’ solution.

Roberto Firmino came off the bench to fire in a stoppage-time winner as Liverpool downed Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 in a Champions League classic at Anfield.Kylian Mbappe appeared to have salvaged a draw for PSG after levelling the scores in the 83rd minute, but the World Cup winner then gave away possession 25 yards out from his own goal.And Firmino, who started on the bench due to an eye injury suffered against Tottenham on Saturday, rifled across Alphonse Areola to ensure last season’s beaten finalists got off to a victorious start in Group C on Tuesday. Article continues below Editors’ Picks Man Utd ready to spend big on Sancho and Haaland in January Who is Marcus Thuram? Lilian’s son who is top of the Bundesliga with Borussia Monchengladbach Brazil, beware! Messi and Argentina out for revenge after Copa controversy Best player in MLS? Zlatan wasn’t even the best player in LA! PSG had fought back from 2-0 down, Liverpool leading thanks to a Daniel Sturridge header and James Milner’s penalty, but Jurgen Klopp’s men deserved to come out on top.Virgil van Dijk and Milner forced early saves from Alphonse Areola, with the visitors having to defend a barrage of corners, and Liverpool took the lead on the half-hour mark.Trent Alexander-Arnold’s delivery from the right was slightly too deep but Andrew Robertson arrived to deliver a brilliant first-time cross that Sturridge firmly headed past Areola.The Liverpool lead was soon doubled, Milner beating Areola from 12 yards after Juan Bernat clumsily tripped Georginio Wijnaldum in the penalty area, but Thomas Meunier gave PSG an immediate lifeline with a low volley.Liverpool thought they had restored their two-goal cushion after the break when Mohamed Salah tapped in from close range, but it was rightly ruled out for Sturridge’s challenge on Areola.Mbappe, who had barely had a sniff of goal, seized on a loose ball after Neymar’s driving run to slam home past Alisson and seemingly earn PSG a point with only seven minutes to go.However, the France international crucially had an impact at the opposite end of the field in added time, giving up possession to allow Van Dijk to feed Firmino, who arrowed in a shot to settle a pulsating contest.pic.twitter.com/v37bOb5n1R — Liverpool FC (@LFC) September 18, 2018 What does it mean: Liverpool in ominous form With six wins out of six this season, Liverpool are sending a message to the Premier League – and now the rest of Europe. Having reached the final last season, where they were undone by Salah’s injury and Loris Karius’ errors, they look in good shape for another extended run in 2018-19, although they left it extremely late after showing familiar defensive frailties.Pat on the back: Firmino makes the difference Only fit for the bench due to the painful eye injury sustained at Wembley, Firmino had not even trained the day before the match. But he showed there was nothing wrong with his radar to make sure the Reds collected the three points their performance undoubtedly deserved. Sturridge may have scored in deputising for the Brazilian, but Firmino demonstrated his huge importance to this Liverpool side.Boot up the backside: Salah lacks influence Salah was perhaps slightly unfortunate to have his goal ruled out, but the Egypt forward lacked his usual snap and sparkle and seemed a touch off the pace. And he was fortunate Firmino bailed him out after he had cheaply coughed up possession prior to Mbappe’s leveller.Key Opta stats: 3 – Kylian Mbappe has scored in his third Champions League season – he is only one of nine players to have scored in 3+ seasons aged under 21. Prodigy. #LIVPSG pic.twitter.com/QIP5FzQOz0— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) September 18, 2018- Liverpool have won their opening six competitive matches of a season for the first time since 1961-62.- PSG are winless in their last five Champions League matches against English sides (D3 L2) and have only kept one clean sheet in their previous 13 such games, a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge during the 2004/05 group stages.- Since he joined Liverpool in the summer of 2015, only Sergio Aguero (17) and Harry Kane (15) have scored more penalties in all competitions for a Premier League club than Milner (13).- Sturridge has been directly involved in a goal in each of his last four Champions League appearances for Liverpool (2 goals, 2 assists).- Since the start of last season, Liverpool have scored 44 Champions League goals; 11 more than any other team in the competition in this period.What’s next?Liverpool and PSG put their perfect domestic records on the line against Southampton and Rennes respectively at the weekend.

Midfielder Paul Pogba is unfit to start in the Manchester derby on April 28, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said in a press conference on Wednesday.Manchester United are gearing up to play against Manchester City in the 33rd Premier League match for both the teams. Mourinho’s United are currently at the 5th spot with 63 points while Pep Guardiola’s City are just above them with 64 points.Mourinho also confirmed that Antonio Valencia and Ander Herrera are fit to return.Speaking more on the much-anticipated match, the coach said it would mean a lot if they manage to break into the top-four with this match.Manchester United are already missing Juan Mata and their star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic who has been ruled out for the season after he sustained an injury in United’s Europa League quarter-final victory against Anderlecht.On Ibrahimovic’s status, Mourinho said, “The future is big surgery and a long period of recovering. But the future is also in the hands of a guy who is mentally very strong, who wrote immediately on social media that he will stop when he wants, not when people think.””It looks to me that he’s not going to give up and he’s going to fight – I’m really pleased with that because this is the Zlatan I know. I told him, ‘You have fought all your life since you were born.’ I don’t see a reason not to fight now,” he added.Manchester United will be facing Celta Vigo in the first leg of Europa League semi-final on May 5 while after their Premier League match with Manchester City, they will host Swansea City on April 30.advertisement
Two promising 28-year-old boxers – Jamaican Camion Goldson, representing the Caribbean team, and Rashid Stevens ,fighting for the USA team – will make their professional debuts tonight on the Wray and Nephew 2016 ‘Contender’ show at the Chinese Benevolent Association auditorium, Old Hope Road in St Andrew, beginning at 9:30 p.m. It was an interesting sidelight when the draw was done, that these two debutants were pitted against each other, and a keen contest is expected. Both have over 50 amateur fights and have represented their countries in overseas competition. Stevens has more accomplishments and told The Gleaner yesterday that he has a 45-9 record and was the 2015 National Golden Gloves champion. He also said that he has won other national titles and was runner-up in the tournament that was held recently to select the USA team to the Olympic Qualifier in Argentina. He was oozing confidence and said that he was keen on making a successful debut to the professional ranks. Goldson has been one of Jamaica’s leading amateurs for some time and has been a national representative on several occasions. His performances have not been consistent, but he has shown that on a given night, he can perform brilliantly. This is the seventh week of competition in the preliminary round of the series, which has 16 boxers vying for quarter-final berths. Following next week’s competition, the eight boxers remaining will be seeded and the top four will draw their opponents from the other four contestants. The main prize is purse money of two million dollars, with the runner-up getting $500,000, third $250,000 and fourth $200,000. The contest will be shown live on TVJ.
SWANSEA (4-2-3-1)FABIANSKI, NAUGHTON, FERNANDEZ, WILLIAMS, TAYLOR,CORK, SHELVEY, AYEW, SIGURDSSON, MONTERO, GOMISMAN UNITED (4-2-3-1)ROONEY, MATA, JANUZAJ, MEMPHIS,SCHWEINSTEIGER, SCHNEIDERLIN,SHAW, BLIND, SMALLING, DARMIAN,ROMEROManchester United have started a Barclays Premier League season with three successive clean sheets for only the third time, winning two, drawing one, scoring just two goals and conceding none.And Sergio Romero, who has replaced David de Gea ahead of a potential move away from Old Trafford, is the first goalkeeper since David Ospina to keep a clean sheet in each of his first three Premier League games.Yet, at the other end, Wayne Rooney is looking to score for the first time in the Premier League since April. Since then Rooney has failed to score in nine league games and a total of 774 minutes – 12 hours and 54 minutes.In six previous meetings with Swansea, Rooney has scored just once – on the opening day of last season.However, he should be confident after netting a hat-trick against Club Brugge on Wednesday in the second leg of the Champions League play-off. United won 4-0 and 7-1 on aggregate.Last season Swansea did the league double over United, winning 2-1 both at Old Trafford and the Liberty Stadium.
