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

 

Some people queried whether I am foot dragging on this issue. I am not. The last three to five months have been useful in flushing out people and requiring people to stand up their views. Even if I do not agree with everything in the expert group's report – it is not my opinion but the group's opinion which is contained therein, particularly regarding a press council – I believe it has done the State a magnificent service by flushing out people and forcing them to address issues which they had only half thought through. Today's proceedings will play a significant part in bringing that matter forward.
