I feel strongly about the public private partnerships. They have been abused in the past. I am in favour of moving back to the spirit of the legislation introduced by Eithne Fitzgerald. With greater freedom, however, comes greater responsibility. The media must live up to that responsibility in manner information is reported when it is made available. Sometimes the banner headlines do not reflect the content of the story underneath, they place a different slant on the story. As citizens we have responsibilities and the media also have those responsibilities. With the greater freedoms that are being brought through the legislation, there is an onus on all sorts of media resources to be responsible.
