Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Defamation (Amendment) Bill: Department of Justice

Ms Karyn Harty:

I will comment on a number of points made by Senator McDowell. He spoke about section 26. One of the concerns we have in Denton Solicitors is that a further provision is being inserted into that which limits it to the media. That seems to us to be wrong and we caution against that.
