The journalist is Dan O'Brien and he is entitled to his view. In the article he makes many valid suggestions as to what the inquiry should do. My question for Mr. O'Regan, as the former editor of a number of newspapers, pertains to his view of politicians inquiring into issues such as the banking collapse and asking questions of journalists in regard to their role. Is that a threat to press freedom, in his view?
