Finally: an Ombudsman, Press Council and Code of Conduct for Ireland

Michael Foley

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Ireland finally produced a Press Council following many years of discussion and debate. Much of this debate surrounded the issue of reforming defamation legislation. A Press Council was seen as a concession by newspaper proprietors in return for new libel laws. The Council as finally agreed included members representing civil society as well as journalists.
