Report on Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion. - Defamation: Statements.

 

In changing the libel laws we consider the interests of newspapers, big people and the rest of it but the people who are most pressed upon by the current libel laws are the little people. I have been libelled but I could not afford to do anything about it. Giving these people the right to have their name vindicated and their privacy protected, and balancing those two issues, is what the Minister is tackling now and I wish him well in his quest.
