THEJOURNAL.IE HAS BEEN recognised this afternoon for its excellence in reporting on Ireland’s justice system and legal affairs.
Winning five prizes at the Justice Media Awards, TheJournal.ie was shown to be contributing to the public’s understanding of the law, the legal system and specific legal issues.
