FF said yes

Regular readers will recall my attempt to persuade RTÉ to make video of the Prime Time leaders’ debates available online without restriction so that it could be shared and reused on sites like this without fear of copyright infringement. Alas and alack, RTÉ said no; but, wonder of wonders, Fianna Fáil said yes! The full text of their letter is available over on cearta.ie. I hope – if not necessarily expect – now that one of the participants in tonight’s debate has supported the initiative, that the other will come on board too. There’s still time for Fine Gael to agree (or at least not to object, by saying that it’s a matter for RTÉ). So, come on Fine Gael: how about it?
