Defamation (Amendment) Bill 2024: Report Stage
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-02
============================================================

Jim O'Callaghan (FF), Dublin Bay South

I move amendment No. 26:
In page 15, to delete lines 24 to 30 and substitute the following:
“Publication of certain judgments and court orders
34I. Where a court finds in the course of defamation proceedings that the proceedings are abusive court proceedings against public participation, the court shall direct that any written judgment of the court or, in the absence of a written judgment of the court, any order of the court, related to that finding, shall be published on the website of the Courts Service where practicable and as soon as so practicable.”.”.
