"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 video includes a clip of President Michael D Higgins that was used without his permission. The campaign team is refusing to remove the video despite the unauthorized use. The video intercuts a succession of supporters praising Connolly with short clips of President Higgins and his predecessors Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese. None of the three presidents are shown speaking about Connolly. The inclusion of presidential footage occurs alongside promotional supporter endorsements. The situation centers on consent for use of a serving president's image within campaign material.
