Court upholds a restriction on identifying mother who smothered child

The Court of Appeal has rejected an application by several media outlets to be allowed to name a woman who smothered her three-year-old child to death with a pillow.

RTÉ, Independent News and Media, News Group Newspapers Ltd and The Irish Times had challenged that interpretation of the legislation.found that the judges had properly applied the law. He also argued that many previous cases involving child homicide had been reported on and no application was made by the Director of Public Prosecutions to prevent the deceased being identified.

He accepted that the media may find the ruling “surprising” and a “radical departure from what had been a long-established practice”.
