    Short answer....Yes! Not only that, but it's getting more and more frequent.

    I wouldn't know anything about the photography end, but I do know that more and more establishments are now required to have Health & Safety "Safety Statements" so this is probably where it's coming from.

    It's more to do with the rise in claims and increased insurance costs in the hospitality and leisure area that premises have been instructed in alot of cases by their insurers and representative bodies such as Irish Hotel Federation to insist to get copies of insurances from any contractors using their facilities.

    This has been from companies using the venues for meetings to people teaching classes, photographers etc.

    Also any OPW sites also insisting on proof of insurance before wedding shots can be taken. There was a case last summer where the couple and photographer were not allowed into a site to take photos as the photographer did not have proof of cover.

    Crazy stuff but unfortunately it is more and more the norm.

    i can understand the OPW approach; given there's commercial activity they're allowing on their sites for free, it's not too much to ask that insurance to cover any damage is catered for.
