Defamation Bill 2006: Committee Stage (Resumed)
3:00 pm
Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)
There is a need to reform our outdated defamation and libel laws. I agree with fair and reasonable defence. It must be balanced. There is little attempt, however, to balance the rights of the ordinary person whose reputation can be seriously damaged to get proper justice. Everything is stacked against them.
