Time to consider legislation to ring-fence independence of media: Micheal Martin

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has called for the Government and opposition parties to take action to ensure media outlets are not pressured by “overbearing influences” in response to the Independent News and Media (INM) data breach controversy.

Mr Martin said he was watching events with “profound concern” and had been “taken aback by the revelations of the last week to 10 days”.
