Ireland has a free press. This means, the Government does not censor or control the articles or stories the press choose to print. However, there are professional standards and behaviors that the print media must comply with. These professional standards and behaviors are set out in a Code of Practice for Newspapers and Periodicals and enforced by the Office of the Press Ombudsman and the Press Council of Ireland. The Office of the Press Ombudsman provides an independent forum for resolving complaints by the public against the press, quickly and free of charge, without having to go to court. If you have been directly and personally affected by a breach of the Code of Practice, you can make a complaint to the Press Ombudsman.Office of the Press Ombudsman 1, 2 & 3 Westmoreland Street Dublin 2 Ireland Locall:1890 208 080 Fax:(01) 674 0046 Homepage: pressombudsman.ie Email: [email protected]
