Frank Fahey (Galway West, Fianna Fail)
Section 24(3)(b) does not allow the court to draw any inference from the plaintiff's reasonable decision not to respond to the newspaper. In other words, one could refuse to comment on whether one denies the story. Therefore, no inference is being drawn in regard to section 24(3)(b).
