Copyright is a legal right over "intellectual property"

It restricts the right to reproduce any original work by an individual or organisation. Permission from the copyright owner must be sought to reproduce/publish their work. The records in the County Archive can be consulted for private study or research but copyright permission must be sought if you intend to reproduce or publish any of the archives in the County Archive.
In the case of the local authority records in the County Archive you can apply to the Archivist for permission to publish. The County Archive may not hold copyright ownership on private collections and you are responsible for gaining copyright permission to reproduce or publish from these collections and for any failure to comply with copyright legislation. A copy of the Copyright and Related Rights Act, 2000 can be found online on the website of the Irish Statute Book at www.irishstatutebook.ie
