Defamation Bill: Committee Stage (Resumed)
5:00 pm
Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)
I welcome the Minister's last comments on Section 26, which we skipped but which is worthy of comment. I welcome the fact that the Minister is considering amendments in order that the apology is as prominent as the original statement.
Regarding section 27, many people who take cases for defamation and win damages subsequently donate the damages to charity. It is a reasonably common occurrence.
