The establishment of a statutory press council in Ireland would be in sharp contrast to the voluntary code adopted in the UK and could pose an obstacle to the effective functioning of the free market, placing Irish newspapers at an unfair disadvantage and contributing to legal confusion in overlapping markets.
While not suggesting that your government would seek to influence the press in such a blatant manner, the enactment of a statutory press council in Ireland would undoubtedly be cited by less democratic regimes seeking to suppress critical newspapers and journalists.
