John Waters described Kitty Holland in court yesterday as a very good reporter who had received poor leadership and been badly advised by her then-editor at the Irish Times, Kevin O’Sullivan.

Mr Waters made the remarks in relation to a report about the untimely death of Indian woman Savita Halappanavar at University Hospital Galway.
