Photography in Public Place Ireland

   1. You can freely take pictures of anything you wish, when in a public place. This includes pictures of private property and people.
   2. You are not allowed to harass people in the course of your photography – stalking someone, or repeatedly blocking their way to take a photograph of them could be construed as harassment.
   3. Taking photographs of people in public is generally allowed – however, an exception is made where the subject would have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
   4. You,re perfectly entitled to take a photograph of someone walking down the street – but hiding in a tree to take a photo of them in their home may get you into trouble.
   5. You are not allowed to obstruct movement on the highway (roads, footpaths, cycle paths etc), or the work of a police officer, while taking photograph
