FROM THE NEWSWIRE:
"The language McDowell used at the December 1st conference is too weak for me. `The body could reflect the interests of all parties'. Why did he not say the Council definitely WILL reflect the interests of all parties? He is the Minister for Justice and he is bringing in a Press Council so the fact that he is unwilling to say anything definite is an indication of what I fear will happen in January when a foolish Cabinet that is wary of the Press will bring into law the Statutory Press Council proposed by the Legal Advisory Group on Defamation.

At that Cabinet meeting will be An Taioseach, who was displeased with coverage of his daughter Georgina’s wedding. Beside him will be Mary Harney who has twice sued for libel. Also there will be Ministers Noel Dempsey, John O'Donoghue and Seamus Brennan, who have all sued or threatened to sue a newspaper. Not forgetting Charlie McCreevy who in 2002 took Ireland from the international vanguard of open government into the dark ages of secrecy when he butchered our freedom of information laws. A society that has been rocked by revelations of corruption took a step back into secrecy. I would offer that the Cabinet is prejudiced and may use the opportunity to get us meddling journalists."
