MEPs Mick Wallace and Clare Daly to sue RTÉ

Controversial MEPs Mick Wallace and Clare Daly have initiated defamation proceedings against RTÉ.

Lawyers for the outspoken politicians filed papers with the High Court on Monday but have yet to reveal what specific programme or comments the cases relate to.

Last month, the duo were two of just 13 MEPs who voted against a European Parliament resolution condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Mr Wallace and Ms Daly said they could not support it because it also stated support for NATO and called for weapons to be sent to Ukraine.
