Ireland
Ireland has full freedom of panorama for buildings and public sculpture; murals and 2D works are the exception.
Guidance, not legal advice
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: Site manager (OPW heritage sites, museums) for commercial shoots; no permit for personal street photography
Cost: No permit for personal photography; commercial productions and managed sites need permission or fees
Street photography in public needs no permit. Commercial crews and shoots at managed heritage sites need authorization.
Drone / airspace
Governed by EASA rules via the Irish Aviation Authority; register as an operator
For category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes: photographing people in public is generally lawful, with no specific image-personality right
Constraints come from privacy, defamation, harassment, and GDPR on publication; commercial endorsement use needs consent.
Freedom of panorama
Full
Section 93 of the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000 lets you photograph and sell images of buildings, sculptures, and works of artistic craftsmanship permanently in a public place. It does not cover murals or 2D paintings, and you cannot make 3D replicas.
Practical notes
- A postcard made from your photo of a public Dublin sculpture or building is explicitly allowed and sellable.
- Street murals and paintings are not covered the way sculptures are; clear those separately.
