British media coverage of Strasbourg case

Summary

Collins questioned British media coverage of the Strasbourg case; Cooney said he did not follow the British press.

I will convey the information I have in this regard to the Minister. I have no wish to mention here the names of the people involved. Is the Minister as concerned as I am that, prior to the publication of The Irish Times articles which were publicised widely in Britain, there was little or no mention in the British media of the Strasbourg case, possibly perhaps because it was clear that the British Government were to be convicted of brutality and torture and that such methods of ill treatment, brutality and torture had been authorised and condoned in Great Britain even up to Cabinet level?

Since I do not read the British press I am not aware of the coverage given in Britain to the cases mentioned by the Deputy.
