Civil Liberties | Ireland | The Constitution provides individuals with the right to "express freely their convictions and opinions;" however, freedom of the press is subject to the constitutional qualification that it not "undermine public order or morality or the authority of the state."

While on balance the press operates freely, observers believe that the Defamation Act (which puts the onus on newspapers and periodicals accused of libel to prove that defamatory words are true) and the Official Secrets Act (which gives the State wide scope to prosecute unauthorized disclosures of sensitive government information) result in some self-censorship.
