Defamation (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage
Dail Éireann — 2025-04-30
============================================================

Jim O'Callaghan (FF), Dublin Bay South

I will be brief. Section 5 is consequential upon what happened to section 4. We voted to retain section 4. I note the opposition of Deputies Gannon and Carthy to section 5, but the fact that section 4 has been approved by the House means that section 5 should stay. I am retaining this section.
