Mr. Tim Vaughan:

In hindsight, there may have been some element of thinking along the same lines, without any conspiracy element. There is a perception of the media that it might be no harm to debunk or explain. There is much talk of the media as one homogenous entity acting in unison and in self-interest, and there was much of this from Dr. Mercille this morning. However, categorically, this is absolutely not the case. Geographically, the Irish Examineris based in Cork, and is the only newspaper based outside Dublin.
