Catherine Connolly's campaign video features a succession of supporters praising her and intersperses short clips of President Michael D Higgins and former presidents Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese. The presidential clips are not shown speaking about Catherine Connolly. A clip of President Higgins was used without his permission. Catherine Connolly's team is refusing to remove the campaign video despite the unauthorized use. The video juxtaposes supporter praise with unrelated presidential footage. The inclusion of the presidents' images without consent raises concerns about image rights and consent during political campaigns. The refusal to remove the footage may prompt further scrutiny.
