A journalist who wrote an allegedly defamatory article about jailed schoolteacher Enoch Burke has denied the story was a “bag of lies” and insisted she exercised “due diligence.”

Sunday Independent reporter Ali Bracken accepted that her report stating Mr Burke was moved in prison because he was “annoying” other inmates contained a "minor" inaccuracy.
