MEP Kelly settles copyright case with photographer

A copyright case against the Fine Gael MEP and former president of the GAA Sean Kelly by a photographer in Co Kerry has been settled, the district court in Killarney was told yesterday.

The photographer felt “totally vindicated” in bringing the action, her solicitor told the court.

Press photographer Michelle-Cooper Galvin of Nunstown, Killarney alleged that Mr Kelly, a member of the European Parliament, of Ballydowney, Fossa, Killarney, breached her copyright by using two of her photographs without her permission and without payment in his 2008 biography Rule 42 and All That published by Gill and MacMillan.
