A decision of the Press Ombudsman can be appealed to the Press Council of Ireland only where grounds are stated and reasonable cause is shown, either in relation to significant new information, or to any error in procedure or in the application of the Principles of the Code of Practice. Mere disagreement with the decision of the Press Ombudsman cannot be grounds for appeal. The Press Council decides, in the first instance, on whether the appeal is admissible, and if it is admitted, on the appeal itself.
