The Irish government suspended the ban on Sinn Féin and IRA members appearing in the media

11 January 1994,

The Irish Government suspended the ban on Sinn Féin and IRA members appearing in the media. Censorship was based on a 1960 law. In the United Kingdom a similar law was established in 1988, but being more interpretable than the law of the Irish Republic, some media circumvented the ban with actors and dubbing subtitles.
