Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

Mr. Gerry O'Regan:

No. The only reason that we held up stories was because of legal risk and threat of libel action. I cannot recall any instance whereby we did not run a story on either the economy or anything else because it would upset somebody. In the usual roundness of things, the stories that upset people are the best stories.
