A judge has told Dunnes Stores that they would be justified in barring an 18-year-old man from shopping in their store in future after he took an unsuccessful €75,000 defamation action against them. Mulhall claimed he had been defamed by both a security guard on duty and Ms Sunny Thomas, a manager in the store. Mr English described Hanley’s allegation as preposterous. Judge Linnane said CCTV footage she had been shown from the store did not do Mr Mulhall or his friends any good. She said Dunnes would be justified in barring Mr Mulhall, Mr Hanley and another of their friends who gave evidence in court from their premises in Ongar.
