Non-court-based Conflict Resolution Mechanisms for Media-related Complaints: Discussion
Mr. Daniel McConnell:
On the wider issue of those newspapers having insurance with regard to claims, the reality is a lot of newspapers either have a very high level of excess before any sort of insurance kicks in, or they do not. It is just not available in Ireland anymore. Any settlement is coming out of day-to-day or running costs. That is a very real consideration.
