Defamation Bill 2006: Committee Stage
5:00 pm
Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)
It said it did not need to be tinkered with to make it convention compliant, which is a different proposition. It is great when there is a case with which one cannot see any problems. The case the Senator is addressing here is that because the Irish Government successfully upheld the status quo in Strasbourg, it was somehow bound never to amend it. That is simply not a runner.
