The High Court in Dublin heard yesterday disciplinary proceedings have ended and a report that identified the secondary school teacher as the person the podcast relates to has been withdrawn.

Niamh Farrell, of The Spires, Portadown, Co Armagh, had been granted a temporary injunction against the board of management of Colaiste Eanna CBS in Rathfarnham, Dublin, preventing them from progressing disciplinary proceedings against her, which could have resulted in her dismissal.

The episodes of The 2 Johnnies Podcast discussed a woman, referred to as 'Nikki', who came to be known as the "GAA Catfish".
