Irish court proceedings to be televised in pilot project

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Irish court proceedings were reported on 22 June 2017 as set to be televised in a pilot project involving RTÉ and the Courts Service. The initial plan was for selected Supreme Court judgments to be recorded as justices read them, with footage shared with other news organisations and published online.

The announcement was made by Courts Service spokesman Gerry Curran at a Newsbrands conference on access to justice. The report said judges technically decide whether recording is permitted, as no specific Irish law bans cameras in courts.
