Joe O'Toole (Independent)

——I would need to prove that his statement referred to me in particular.

I want an answer to my next question more than that one. Could a person take a case on behalf of a group of lawyers, teachers or the Traveller community in the sense that a statement affecting all Travellers, for example, also affected the person? If the statement impugned the reputation of the group to which I belong, it would impugn me. What burden of proof is required? The section concludes with the words, "the statement could reasonably be understood to refer, in particular, to the member concerned."
