A woman who was wrongly arrested and brought to Mountjoy Prison in Dublin over a mistake about non-payment of a television licence has settled her High Court action for damages. The State parties had admitted liability for these breaches but there was an issue over the level of damages, the court heard. Counsel said Ms Daly, who is a single mother, had been saving €4 TV licence stamps since the previous October and had collected €144 worth since then. The State parties have "held up their hands", counsel said, and said there was not just cause to incarcerate her.
