Defamation Bill 2006: Committee Stage
5:00 pm
Ivor Callely (Fianna Fail)
Was the balance in the 1961 Act more towards reputation than freedom of expression? Have we shifted the goalposts in this Bill in recognising the importance of the free press first and then for action to be taken later? Rather than addressing this specific section, is the whole Bill changing the emphasis in the 1961 Act?
