Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

I wish to refer to a point raised by my colleague, Senator O'Donovan. I do not wish to labour it now as I might deal with it on Report Stage. The Minister may be relying on the effectiveness of the press council to meet the issue, not of the survival of cause of action on death, but of defamation of a deceased person and that there would be respect for the dead, which is a very important part of our ethos. I do not want to delay the debate by initiating a debate on this issue. This is important, however, and this is the only section on which I thought it appropriate to refer to it. Senator O'Donovan has strongly expressed his views on this issue. Perhaps I might defer dealing with it until Report Stage.
