    That is US Law. Be very very careful in Ireland.

    Thanks for this. particularly liked this bit I found in the comments (highly relevant to Holy week):-
    Blasphemey (sic) is still illegal in this country, therefore pictures that are consideried (sic) so will get you into all sorts of hot stuff. This extends to artistic photos too.

    Photos against public decency or that may attempt to corrupt the public good are also illegal.

    ^ in regards to blasphemy though it is still a "crime" in the Constitution(!) it has never been successfully argued in court and there is no legal definition of what is blasphemy.

    The test case that was taken was during the divorce referendum - the court rejected the argument and came close to saying that this provision of the Constitution was unconstitutional.

    Not legal advice and it is still possible that you could be sued/prosecuted for blasphemy...but highly, highly unlikely.

    Oriel and Mellor,

    Are you saying that the Digital Rights Ireland pamphlet is incorrect ?? I thought that this was specific to Irish law. If it's wrong, can you advise what is correct ??

    I was at the Ireland game in Thomond Park last night and I took a couple of pictures of a young Australian girl (about 10 years old) with the scoreboard in the background.
    I wasn't sure about posting them today because I never got permission but after having a look on here I find that I can.

    She is clearly a minor so I'm now wondering would she be protected by other child laws not covered here?

    Obviously there is nothing defamatory about the pictures. Any thoughts?

    I wouldn't expect that you would have any legal problem.

    A football match in an arena of any sort couldn't lead anyone to believe that they have any expectation of privacy - television cameras, media photographers, and those in the crowd taking shots.

    Not a legal opinion but I think you'd be in the clear.

    I was thinking that too, just though I'd ask first. To be sure to be sure ........
