Offaly threatened legal action over image rights

The Offaly county board threatened legal action against a company aiming to make a profit from unofficial team photos.

Just last Sunday, Dublin refused to pose for a traditional pre-match photo in a bid to protect player image rights.

An Offaly source confirmed: "We threatened an injunction on a company that was looking to produce one-sheet calendars with pictures of our county hurling and football teams side by side."
