Comments on: Photographer’s Rights in Ireland http://inphotos.org/photographers-rights-in-ireland/ no photoshopped images here Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:01:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Alex http://inphotos.org/photographers-rights-in-ireland/#comment-204680 Alex Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:27:34 +0000 http://inphotos.org/photographers-rights-in-ireland/#comment-204680 There's an excellent article about photographers' rights in Australia <a href="http://www.4020.net/words/photorights.php" rel="nofollow">here</a> if you're interested in a comparison. It's about NSW in particular but most of it generally applies to the rest of the country. There are some links at the bottom to similar articles for other countries. In short, photographers generally aren't restricted much by the law here, but there are the usual gung-ho security guards and police officers who seem to believe in non-existent photography bans. My experience is that you're more likely to be hassled by a member of the public than by the authorities.

You might not, in future, be able to photograph anyone else without their permission. Perhaps the state will apply the same rules to your number plate when they're busy taking photos of them in public. I'm about to start a rant, but it's best not to! Amazing stuff.
