Part of Legal Deposit Libraries Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 5:45 pm on 4 June 2003.
I should like to add my three-pennyworth to the debate. I understand that defamation laws in Ireland are stronger than ours. Non-print material that could easily be deposited in the UK could cause problems in Dublin that might not arise here. It would be worth thinking at some stage of building into the clause the fact that publishers should take cognisance of the defamation law in Ireland before sending things to Dublin.
