Lawyers acting for Denis O'Brien believe that Mr Ganley was the "client" who instructed Red Flag to compile a 'Dossier' about him and his financial activities. Speaking with Mark Paul of The Irish Times, Mr Ganley said: "I've never had personal animus for him. In effect Mr Brophy wanted me to use Dail Eireann to attack the plaintiff using the information furnished by him. The defendants made arrangement with Mr Keaveney in text messages to have Mr Ryan meet with the leader of Fianna fail Mr Michael Martin and share information with him." "In the interests of balance, objectivity and impartiality, it is incumbent on The Irish Times to deal with the matter in a fully transparent manner, immediately," it added.
