Fair use doesn't exist in EU. There are certain provisions of copying allowed for research and a few select reasons but its much more restrictive than the US. So if they had used quotes from the article they could genuinely be in trouble. |

This matter is country-level, internal to Ireland.

I don't know whether there's EU-wide fair use, but there seems to be in member countries. For example, in my home Poland, we have http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dozwolony_użytek
