In Ireland itself, former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said, "Some of the papers were waiting to write some sensational piece about him ... I can never understand why people just don't leave things simple" and one radio station owner, who called on people to write to the "Mail" to express their disagreement, commented, "We are all very very insulted by that coverage. ... I certainly hope the Irish people force that newspaper's editor to apologise for the great hurt caused by that article". Scotland Yard received a complaint. Gately's record company also issued a complaint to the PCC. The PCC did not uphold the complaint, stating: "It found the article caused some offence but there was insufficient evidence it breached the law." Tony Connell, CPS London complex casework lawyer, said: "In coming to this conclusion I have paid particular attention to Article 10 of the Human Rights Act which protects individuals' freedom of expression. It is an established legal principle that this freedom applies equally to information and ideas that are favourably received as to those which offend, shock and disturb. Though the complainants and many others found this article offensive, this does not make its publication unlawful."
