On 16 April 2018, RTÉ News published an article online concerning the defamation action brought by Nicky Kehoe against RTÉ arising out of the Saturday with Claire Byrne broadcast on 24 October 2015.

The article stated that the High Court had made no order as to legal costs and that this meant that both sides would pay their own costs. This was inaccurate and incorrect.

While no order as to costs was made in court, in a confidential arrangement, RTÉ agreed to make a contribution towards Mr Kehoe's costs. We are happy to clarify this and apologise to Mr Kehoe for the error.
