Media Control in Ireland 1923-1983

This is the first comprehensive history of censorship in Ireland. It is documented by parliamentary and court records and supported by extensive evidence gained through interviews with journalists, barristers, and the Chief Censor himself. Writing with the facility and style of a literary artist, Woodman presents com­plex ideas with precision and clarity. He addresses constitutional and philosophi­cal questions raised by censorship as well as literary and moral ramifications.
