Non-court-based Conflict Resolution Mechanisms for Media-related Complaints: Discussion
Mr. S?amus Dooley:
A survey was carried out by BDO Simpson Xavier, the accountants, concerning legal costs for the two-year period from 2017 to 2019 for national publishers. The costs at that stage were €14.5 million, of which €8.7 million went on legal costs. That is only over a two-year period. That gives some indication of the scale of the challenge which the national media faces.
