does anyone know what the legal sanding and general practice is on quotes
For example if I was making a site about Dublin and wanted a page of famous quotes on the city
Do I need permission off the people

If the author has been dead for more than 70 years then no permission needed.

If not then it is likely you do need permission, if you intend on using quotes on a site and that site makes money then you're best being safe and seek professional advice.

See http://www.cai.ie for detail of copyright in Ireland and links to the relevant laws and copyright in other countries.

I'm not sure what the exact legal situation is in Ireland, but generally speaking there is a concept of "fair use"
You can usually quote someone and provide a citation without getting into trouble

If you just grab content you will end up in hot water
