Defamation Bill 2006: Committee Stage (Resumed)
11:00 am
Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)
I thank the Minister for agreeing to consider the issue. I was unaware that Members affected by defamatory remarks could contradict them. There is a time lapse and the concern would be that an initial publication could be very damaging or injurious to the affected person. Perhaps the Minister could consider the matter to see if action could be taken. I would appreciate it.
