add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the censorship bill just passed in Ireland. The Committee on Evil Literature, on whose findings the Bill was based, included in its five members a Protestant clergyman as well as a Catholic priest. It recommended that the terms "indecent and obscene" should be given a wider interpretation, that a Censorship Board should be set up "to advise the Minister of Justice as to any books, newspapers or magazines circulated in the Saorstat that, in the opinion of the board, are demoralizing and corrupting," and that the minister should have power to prohibit these publications.
