Defamation Bill: Committee Stage (Resumed)
4:00 pm
Dominic Hannigan (Labour)
Amendment No. 25 is similar to that of Senator Walsh, and either would be acceptable. The basis is to ensure it is done in advance. The Labour Party would be happy to support Senator Walsh's amendment.
The purpose of amendment No. 26 is to make clear that a brief response by the plaintiff at the end of the article is not sufficient. It should be a detailed response and this opportunity should be given to the plaintiff.
