Defamation (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2025-10-15
============================================================

Linda Nelson Murray (FG), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I move amendment No. 9:
In page 8, lines 22 and 23, to delete “it shall be a defence to a defamation action for the defendant to” and substitute “no cause of action shall lie where the defendant can”.
I will withdrawn this amendment because the Minister has indicated that he will look at something to do with retailers.
