Mr. Séamus Dooley:

One can take it for granted that any organisation representing journalists is going to favour maximum access to information and therefore we would believe in as much openness as possible, while taking into account all the other consequent issues regarding respect for the Data Protection Act and for privacy rights. Inevitably, the road we are going down would also require a system of registration and regulation of organisations. Certainly with regard to private media companies, I would be delighted if they were open to full scrutiny.
