Ms Geraldine Kennedy:

We were stronger than the NUJ. Journalists were not to take them. One would not accept trips from people. The Israeli Government on several occasions would have invited journalists from Europe to go on a street trip to Israel. When The Irish Timeswas involved, it would have expected to be able to set the agenda on where it could go and what it wanted to see. It would be stated at the end of any such articles as to who had paid for them.
