Report on Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion. - Defamation: Statements.
It should be possible to establish some form of statutory body which would respect the freedom of the press and act in an autonomous way, while providing transparency and independence that would give the public confidence in the entire process. There is no real argument as to why the press and other media should not be treated in the same way as others. Perhaps we could have an all-embracing council which would involve both the print and broadcast media.
