All the news that's fit to be blocked by court order

The broadcaster complied ... and filled the air time by reading the court order, verbatim.

Would that work in Ireland in this case?

If RTE had stones, maybe.

In practice, they were the oneswho paid off the Iona institute rather than go through the bother of a defending 'defamation' from a guest on a live program.
