No details were disclosed

According to the Irish Times two protesters who sued the State and Garda Commissioner for assault following the reclaim the streets protest three years ago have settled out of court. No details were disclosed.

The Irish times reported Fri, Mar 03, 06, that ‘Street protesters settle actions’.
The short article read:

”Two men who alleged they were assaulted by gardaí in separate incidents during the Reclaim the Streets protest three years ago have settled their High Court actions for damages.

Jonathon Kelly, Garble Lane, Rathgar, Dublin, had sued the State and Garda Commissioner after he claimed he was assaulted on Burgh Quay on May 6th, 2002.

A Limerick man who also sued the State and Garda Commissioner settled his action. Keith Kerley Ballysimon, Limerick city, had claimed damages for an alleged assault by gardaí near Dame Street on the same day. Both cases were settled outside court. No details were disclosed.”

I hate that. ‘No details were disclosed’. Is this an admission of guilt by the state? Have the protesters been gagged? Is that the last of the law suits? I presume no details could be got under the freedom of some information act.
Anyone know anything?
