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

 

How many times have we read a newspaper headline then looked for substantive content under that headline only to find none, particularly in an evening newspaper like the Evening Herald? People pick it up at a railway station thinking there is a story in it but below the headline there is no substance. There is one reason only for the headline, to sell the newspaper. When the Kildare bypass was opened, I used it that night. When travelling on it, I thought of the wonderful progress we had made. I picked up the Irish Independent the next day and it did not mention the good side of the bypass, only the build up of traffic in Monasterevin.
