The High Court has granted an order to amend an error in a previous judgment regarding the findings of a tribunal of inquiry concerning the award of a GSM licence by the State. The original judgment had incorrectly stated that the Tribunal concluded there was corruption at the highest level of Irish politics affecting the licence award. Upon review, the court acknowledged the error and replaced the sentence with a detailed summary of the Tribunal's findings as outlined by the Supreme Court in a prior case. This amendment does not alter the outcome or the substantive reasoning of the original judgment, which focused on the balance between confidentiality and the administration of justice in the context of document discovery.
