Court martial (sic) transparency

12/8/2022

 You may recollect our postings and what you have read about the Pro Publica litigation over access to court filings in Mays. We have mentioned that the U.K. has laws about what can and cannot be published in the media about a case and about name-suppression of the accused.

Well, it appears the Irish have some similar as this news article reports.

Connor Gallagher, Military judge hears arguments over media's right to report on court martial. Irish Times, December 8, 2022. ("The matter relates to the case of an officer convicted of sexually assaulting a female soldier.")
The matter was raised during legal argument at a General Court Martial hearing held in McKee Barracks on Thursday. At issue was the right of the media to have a right of audience before a court martial and to challenge the imposition of reporting restrictions on proceedings.
Counsel representing The Irish Times and other media organisations argued the military judge, Colonel Michael Campion, should revise an order banning the reporting of most of the details of a case involving a military officer convicted of sexual assault.
The mid-ranking officer was found guilty by the military tribunal last October of sexually assaulting a female soldier after a social function at a military barracks two years ago. He was cleared of three other counts of the same offence following a six week trial.
