Non-court-based Conflict Resolution Mechanisms for Media-related Complaints: Discussion
Mr. Dave O'Connell:
In a local context, we have no libel insurance and it is cost prohibitive. The last time that we dealt with this, the threshold was €30,000. We would be on the hook for that, and very rarely, funnily enough, did the cases go higher than that. However, the premium went up accordingly, so it is many years since we have had libel insurance.
