Report on Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion. - Defamation: Statements.
I compliment the Minister on the consultative process upon which he has embarked. My interpretation of the conference was that it was an exceptionally good reminder to us to proceed very cautiously. The legal advisory group on defamation deserves to be complimented. It has come up with a comprehensive report at the invitation of the Minister. As he rightly pointed out also, the recommendations we are debating are theirs. They are not the Minister's or Government policy but it is important that we examine them and comment upon them because presumably the Government will make decisions on how they are to be implemented.
