If someone wasn't convited you couldn't refer to them in that way. At most you could say 'alleged rapist', but given the law in Ireland you'd be wise not to as you probably wouldn't get away with it if it was contested.

I know that Steve. I asked where the legislation says it.

What Steve is referring to is libel laws, not the Incitement to Hatred Act

???

Not at all. It's just a fundamental outcome of the legal system that you can refer to someone by the crime they've been found guilty of (unless there's a particular stipulation preventing it - e.f. anonymity due to age).

It's not just about the libel laws - it's much wider than that. For example - if I verbalised it, it would be in the realms of slander law, not libel. If I used it in consideration of whether to employ someone or not, it would then impinge upon employment laws.

Not quite. If you verbalise and it isn't recorded then it's slander. Verbal comments on radio, television and podcasts/videocasts it would be considered libel. The same is true if you are quoted in print media.

I think the law has a tough task ahead of it though in defining the difference going forward as material such as videos of people being recorded onto a mobile or home video camera which is subsequently posted in a public forum such as YouTube or simply shown to a lot of people has yet to be put to a legal test in this state. I would argue it should fall under slander unless it can be proven that the person making the comments should have had a reasonable expectation that their comments may be recorded.
