 Attorney General v. Paperlink Ltd.
The statutory power is one to establish posts and post offices and to collect and convey ‘postal packets’ – a phrase defined as meaning ‘a letter, post card, reply post card, newspaper, book packet, pattern or sample packet, or parcel and every packet or article transmissible by post and includes a telegram’.
The section (a) grants an exclusive privilege to the Minister, but then (b) exempts from it certain letters (‘excepted letters’) if sent in a certain way, and then (c) abolishes the exemption if a collection of excepted letters is made for the purpose of sending them in a manner authorised by the section.
Counsel, however, maintained that the plaintiffs in that case had not argued that the penalty provisions of the 1971 Act were a bar to the relief claimed by the Attorney General and so it is not authority to justify the court granting relief in the present case.

 RTE's selective silence. - National Arts and Media - Indymedia Ireland

It is worth bearing in mind the attitude of the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs at the time, Patrick Little, who once commented that ‘It is sometimes very much wiser for a small neutral country to keep silent’.
Another minister for Posts and Telegraphs, Conor Cruise O’Brien, later deemed that the public needed to be protected not only from biased reporting but also from a ‘kind of neutral professionalism, indifferent to social consequences’.
