Another interesting matter on which I will not dwell too long is the case of Callaghan and Hunter v. Blom-Cooper in which on a preliminary issue Mr. Justice Aindrias Ó Caoimh in the High Court delivered a judgment on 31 July 2003. That judgment was the subject of a law report in The Irish Times recently but it has not really come to public attention. In that case, the author of a pamphlet is being sued for defamation by two members of the Birmingham Six. By way of preliminary issue, the author brought to the courts the proposition that by definition his pamphlet was an exercise in free speech and could not be unlawful. He sought to have the case decided in limine on that basis.
