The Courts Service has revealed RTE’s bill for defamed priest Fr Kevin Reynolds’ legal team was more than €150,000.
Declan O’Neill, Taxing Master, ruled Fr Reynolds’ solicitor Robert Dore be paid €80,000 for his work on the defamation case.
Mr Dore, and his firm Dore and Company, had originally sought an instructions fee of €275,000.
He had argued the case occupied his time between mid-June and mid-November, that it pervaded his office, and that the amount of time spent by his practice was enormous.
