Civil Liability and Courts Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed).
12:00 pm
Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)
A great deal has been said about these amendments. Like the Minister, I want to ensure that journalists cannot report on, and perhaps identify, individuals in the family law courts. We have to protect such people at all times. Amendment No. 46 relates to the categories of persons who can report on cases. The Minister has already addressed this subject. Does he envisage that students will be allowed to attend? I refer, for example, to a person who is studying for a Ph.D. or other thesis.
