In 2003, the legal advisory group on defamation - established by the Minister for Justice - recommended in its report that the defamation laws be reformed and a statutory press council established.

While the newspaper and magazine industry welcomed news that the defamation laws would be reformed, there was significant opposition to the concept of a statutory press council. So the industry came together and formed the Press Industry Steering Committee comprising representatives of the following organisations:

• National Newspapers of Ireland (NNI)
• Regional Newspapers Association of Ireland (RNAI)
• Periodical Publishers Association of Ireland (PPAI)
• National Union of Journalists (NUJ)
• Irish Editions of UK Titles

The Press Council has 13 members. Seven of these, including the Chairman, are drawn from suitably qualified persons representative of a broad spectrum of Irish society. The remaining six members of the Press Council provide senior editorial and journalistic expertise and perspectives reflective of the press industry.

The independent Chairman of the Press Council is Professor Thomas Mitchell, former Provost of Trinity College Dublin.

The Press Council of Ireland is the body that appoints the Press Ombudsman. It takes decisions in cases of significance or complexity which have been referred to it by the Press Ombudsman. It also decides on appeals from decisions of the Press Ombudsman.
