Ian Bailey says a diary entry ''back in print, hip hip hooray'' - after his arrest for the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier does not look like his writing.
It was put to the former journalist, living in Schull, Co Cork, that this was written on June 30th 1997 after the Sunday Independent published an interview with him.
Our Courts Correspondent Francesca Comyn reports:
Ian Bailey's faced two main strands of questioning on his sixth day of cross examination in his wrongful arrest action against the state and garda authorities.
Firstly state counsel Luan O'Braonain has been putting it to the 57 year old that gardai had ample reason to arrest him on suspicion of murdering the French film producer.
Mr Bailey rejects that and claims the catalyst for his detention was the alleged bogus identification of him near the crime scene by local shopkeeper Marie Farrell.
Referring to interviews the former journalist gave to the media folowing his release Mr O'Braonain asked him if derived satisfaction from being the centre of atention -but that was also rejected.
When shown a diary entry 'back in print, hip hip hooray' from June 30th 1997 after the Sunday Independent printed a feature interview with him Mr Bailey said he wasn't sure but it didn't look like his writing.
