As I wrote about earlier, there are conditions placed on the broadcasting of proceedings of the Oireachtas by Standing Order, including that extracts shall not be used for political satire.<\/p>\n
The relevant Standing Order is SO 110. I quote it below. I’ll have one more post later this week, giving my response to this apparent bar to use.<\/p>\n
