Apart from Fine Gael's contribution to the debate on this matter, the question of libel law reform and the newspaper industry has been the subject of a number of reports and submissions over the past decade. The Law Reform Commission published a report on defamation in 1991. The 1996 report of the Commission on the Newspaper Industry under the chairmanship of the former Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Thomas Finlay, formally recommended the establishment of a press complaints procedure. Seven years later these recommendations have still not been implemented.
