You’d assume he planned for this, given how litigious Sinn Féin tend to be.
If he made shit up, they’re more than entitled to sue.
It’s one of those cases where you hope they all lose.

We should libel who we want without consequence!
Hope they have a bit of cash set aside to cover legal costs if they lose!
Shane Ross will just use the experience to write another book, that will probably cover whatever costs he incurs with this
The publishers must be cracking themselves
If in power SF totally won’t go after journalists who write criticality of them, pinky promise, vote for them at your peril!
I’m sure Easons are delighted with this news – all their copies will move in the next day or two!
I don’t know the in-and-outs of this case in particular, but what standards/laws are spouses and family of politicians held to?
Mary Lou McDonald often gets criticised for the amount of libel cases she contests but she keeps wining them.
I cant wait for this one to play out in court, pass the popcorn!
Oh wait, it will never go to court, because they might have to disclose where they got the money from.
Mcfeely will give him a invoice for 50k for the work done 😂
Mary Lou is pissed off that she lost that bully of the year competition last year so she’s going for broke this year.
Please let the court recognise that the writer is a hack and his copy is awful.
Shane Ross was a useless swine.
He spent his years cleverly constructing an image as a potential competent statesman with good ideas, only to become a useless parish pump prick for a suburb of Dublin.
People like him drive people to become disillusioned with Irish politics. A pound shop, Healy Rae.
The payout won’t cover the cost of a new extension if that’s what he wants.
Regardless of your political views.
A former in all but name FG TD, writing an autobiography about the current opposition leader without their permission is a very strange thing to do….unless you have an agenda to push of course
You’d think she’d have setup a Kangaroo Court.
Shane Ross is a cunt. Used to be floor staff in a pub he drinks in and we’d play a game to see who could make him wait for his pint the longest
