Independent Inquiry into the Alleged Use of Wiretapping of Northern Ireland Journalists

Independent Inquiry into the Alleged Use of Wiretapping of Northern Ireland Journalists
That this Assembly recognises the essential role of a free press in an open and democratic society; understands that a vital part of that role is the investigation and scrutiny of public bodies, including the legitimate use and protection of sources; affirms that the press cannot be expected to operate effectively if journalists can be intimidated, harassed or subject to unwarranted or unjustified surveillance; and calls on the Minister of Justice to launch an independent inquiry into the alleged use of wiretapping and other unlawful practices against journalists.
