Former TD and MEP Clare Daly has claimed in the High Court that two newspaper articles published last year amounted to a “disgraceful attempt” to damage her reputation “in the teeth” of her bid to be re-elected to the European Parliament.

Ms Daly is suing the publishers of The Sunday Times over two related stories published on May 26th, 2024, regarding her alleged links to a Lithuanian diplomat, Algirdas Paleckis, who was prosecuted by the Lithuanian security services for passing information to Russia.
