Defamation Bill 2006: Committee Stage (Resumed)
3:00 pm
Frank Fahey (Galway West, Fianna Fail)
There is a misunderstanding on the part of Senator Jim Walsh. He is seeking a requirement that the defendant admits liability. He cannot be required to admit liability where there is only an allegation which has not been proven. It is for that reason that the requirement of an apology is not part of this section.
