Tyrone senior intercounty footballer Conor Meyler has taken a defamation action against the Irish Post over an article published in January this year.<\/p>\n
Mr Meyler is taking the action against the Irish Post Media Ltd and has joined parent company The Color Company (TM) Ltd, Poland Street, London, England, as a co-defendant in the case.<\/p>\n
At the High Court today, Ray Motherway BL, instructed by PA Duffy & Co Solicitors, successfully applied to Mr Justice Barry O’Donnell to have the Color Company joined as co-defendants and opened papers in the case.<\/p>\n
In papers lodged with the High Court, Mr Meyler, an All-Ireland winner in 2021, is described as a “PhD researcher in Sport Leadership and Gender, a graduate of UCD and Maynooth University, a member of Tyrone’s senior GAA football team, a media personality and an advocate for gender equality issues within the GAA”.<\/p>\n
Mr Meyler alleges that the Irish Post \u2014 with a registered office at Loane, Administration Buildings, IMI, Sandyford, Dublin 16 \u2014 published an article in January 2025 which allegedly contained details about him that were untrue.<\/p>\n
As a result, Mr Meyler claims to have suffered loss, damage, inconvenience, expense, distress, embarrassment, annoyance and anxiety.<\/p>\n
Mr Justice O’Donnell allowed the joining of Color Company as a co-defendant and adjourned the matter generally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyrone senior intercounty footballer Conor Meyler has taken a defamation action against the Irish Post over an article…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145152,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[54,61,60,112,60860],"class_list":{"0":"post-145151","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-courts","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tyrone-gaa"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
