"Catherine Connolly's team is refusing to remove a campaign video that features a clip of Michael D Higgins used without his permission."
"The video features a succession of supporters praising Ms Connolly, and uses short clips of President Higgins as well as his predecessors Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese, although they are not speaking about Ms Connolly."
"Video also features clips of Mary McAleese and Mary Robinson"
Catherine Connolly's campaign team is refusing to remove a campaign video that includes a clip of President Michael D Higgins used without his permission. The video presents a succession of supporters praising Ms Connolly and incorporates short clips of President Higgins alongside former presidents Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese. None of the three figures are shown speaking about Ms Connolly. The use of those clips without consent raises concerns about image rights and the appropriateness of featuring public figures in political material. The campaign team's refusal to take down the video indicates a dispute over consent and political promotion practices.
