An application by RTÉ to alter the terms of the injunction granted to businessman Denis O'Brien against the broadcaster will be heard in the High Court next Wednesday.

Senior Counsel David Holland said RTÉ would be seeking a variety of reliefs.

RTÉ did not receive affidavits from the other side until yesterday.

The matter was adjourned until 10am on Wednesday.

Lawyers for the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation pointed out to the court that legal advice was covered by absolute privilege.

Senior Counsel Michael Collins said they did not have any reason to believe that legal advice given to the bank would be mentioned in the Dáil, but he said if it was it mentioned, the speech would not be covered by absolute privilege.

Mr Justice Donald Binchy said he echoed the sentiment and hoped it would not occur. However, he said it was out of the control of anyone in the courtroom.
