Defamation Bill 2006: Committee and Remaining Stages (Resumed)
1:00 pm
David Norris (Independent)
I have a note in the margin of the Bill that I intend to table an amendment to the effect that the apology shall have at least the same prominence as the original defamatory statement. That is only fair because it is not appropriate for a newspaper to have the defence of an apology if it sticks it on the back page, in Irish.
