Censures judge from Ireland getting the message whichever way you look at it (10)

'censures' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'judge from ireland getting the message whichever way you look at it' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'judge' could be 'critic' (critic is a kind of judge) and 'critic' is found within the answer.
'message' could be 'sm' (SM is an example) and 'sm' is found in the answer.
'way' could be 's' (Compass direction - South) and 's' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'i' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
