A great result, it's good to see that not everyone fears the libel "chilling effect".

I suspect a similar outcome for Ryanair in the not too distant future, with regard to several other lawsuits it has issued against TV companies as well as individuals, related to alleged defamatory claims made about them.

If any of these go all the way to a public court hearing there's going to be some interesting stories in the press that's for sure.

As someone has already pointed out beware the "Streisand effect".
