Defamatory remarks; Mary Lou McDonald to take legal action against Shane Ross’s book
Dublin: The family of Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has filed a lawsuit in response to defamatory remarks in a book written by former minister Shane Ross. According to reports, a lawyer sent a notice to the former minister on Martin Lanigan’s behalf.
The controversial reference appears in a chapter of Mary Lou MacDonald: A Republican Riddle, a biography of Mary. The dispute arose as a result of the purchase and renovation of their family home in Cabra, Dublin.
According to Mary Lou MacDonald, every citizen has the right to protect their reputation. Everyone has the right to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and protection of reputation. They claimed that her husband was a person as well.
The lawyer’s notice, according to Ross, was unexpected. The book contains no allegations. Only a few reasonable concerns are raised. He stated that he was obligated to respond. He stated that he would face any legal consequences.
Attempts have been made to contact Mary and Martin about the writing of this book. However, the opportunity was not provided. The property information of politicians should be transparent. There are no concerns about invasions of privacy. There are no allegations on the books regarding the construction of the home, Rose reiterated.
