This got me thinking about media pluralism in Ireland, there's very little information on that topic, I found one site that investigates the matter in EU member states but, despite their making reports they don't seem to make them available to the public. I emailed them asking for access to the Irish report only to be told I can't access it and how did I find the web address. It seems absurd that they're reporting on matters that are, in their own words "essential foundations of democratic societies" yet they won't pass this information on to the public.
Anyway, I just wanted to rant about that, back to the GE.

And going back to this, the report is to be released soon, RTE had a short piece on it this morning, Ireland is 'high risk level' as regards concentration of media, with both INM and RTE itself coming in for criticism.

D'ye have any link to info about this? I assume they can't/won't do anything about it but nice to see it pointed out formally.

I have never heard of google so any help would be great here.

Concentration of Irish media ownership 'high risk'

What Nooly said.
They did bring in a bill a year or two back forbidding the concentration of media ownership but, due to constitutional concerns, it couldn't be applied retroactively, so locking in Do'Bs little empire.

Ireland : Hostile context | Reporters without borders

We're up in the ratings but down on our previous score, its obviously a bad time for the media. INMs dominance counts against us, I can't imagine our blasphemy law helps much either.

9th worldwide is not too shabby though is it?

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Finally, interviewing police sources has been virtually impossible since the Garda Siochana Act of 2005, which bans police officers from talking to journalists without prior authorization. Officers contravening the ban risk dismissal, a fine or up to seven years in prison.
Fucking did not know that

Better than I was expecting anyway. Still, let's push for 1! (I'd be satisfied with a top 5)

that is actually pretty impressive, UK is 38th

Yada, yada, yada... I found one site that investigates the matter in EU member states but, despite their making reports they don't seem to make them available to the public.... yada, yada, yada

So they finally published their report

Ireland

It's ok I guess, we should be concerned about Social Inclusiveness, Concentration of Ownership and Political Independence.

Relatedly - newsocracy 2016 | Nessa Childers MEP should be interesting.

well, this is certainly kicking off. so leslie buckley, a man with a good taste in friends, ordered/arranged the removal of 'IT backup tapes' from INM, which have been made available to third parties for analysis. the whys/wherefores/implications are keeping twitter going.
