Never saw it coming

Filed under: Irish Law, Irish Politics — Michael Nugent @ 9:53 am
The Defamation Bill is scheduled for debate in the Dail tomorrow morning, Wednesday 8 July. The debate for the entire Bill is restricted to one hour or less. This means that there will be little or no time to properly discuss the blasphemy sections.

Here is the full wording of the blasphemy sections, and the amendments that are being proposed to them. Please contact your TDs today and ask them to vote for amendments number 22 and 26, which would delete the blasphemy sections from the Bill.

On saturday in Wynn's hotel there's a public meeting organised by Michael Nugent. They're apparently going to make a statement designed to be offensive to as many religions as possible to test the law.

They've even come up with a religion themselves so it can get offended. It's called Dermotology and they worship Dermot Ahern

getz

the church got its way,now in ireland you will not be able tell the truth about the role they had in covering up their crimes,

pablomakaveli

Would you really expect anything from our politicians?

If theres a bad decision to be made you can be sure they'll make it.

ejmaztec

Does this mean we can't moan about Biffo anymore?

Dyr

Dermot Ahern is actually making mcDowell look like he had a clue as minister for justice which should tell us what an utter f**kwit he is. Religious nut jobs get to rape kids with impunity and we can't even call them names, way to f***ing go ireland. And remember yee lot voted these sh**ehawks in

Pfft! How can you have a score of minus one? Or minus none?

And since when did the Crazy Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorists take part in the World Cup?

Freedom of speech is protected by Article 40.6.1 of the Irish constitution. However the article qualifies this right, providing that it may not be used to undermine "public order or morality or the authority of the State". Furthermore, the constitution explicitly requires that the publication of "blasphemous, seditious, or indecent matter" be a criminal offence (although in practice this isn't used).

Is it really that surprising?

• Article 40.6.1 guarantees the right of citizens to express freely their convictions and opinions subject to public order and morality. It then restricts this right by saying that says that “The publication or utterance of blasphemous, seditious, or indecent matter is an offence which shall be punishable in accordance with law.”

Right,does this mean that the likes of the recent Ryan report cant & wont happen again & priests can go back to getting away with abuse? I really don't (or hope I don't) understand the highlighted part!

36. Publication or utterance of blasphemous matter.

(1) A person who publishes or utters blasphemous matter shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable upon conviction on indictment to a fine not exceeding €100,000.

(2) For the purposes of this section, a person publishes or utters blasphemous matter if (a) he or she publishes or utters matter that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby causing outrage among a substantial number of the adherents of that religion, and (b) he or she intends, by the publication or utterance of the matter concerned, to cause such outrage.

(3) It shall be a defence to proceedings for an offence under this section for the defendant to prove that a reasonable person would find genuine literary, artistic, political, scientific, or academic value in the matter to which the offence relates.

A possible €100,000 fine? I'm actually speechless. What kind of horseshít is this they're bringing in? Why haven't they been shot yet?

If i reveal myself as a prophet and found my own religion does that mean anyone who insults me or call me crazy can be arrested because i would be up for that.

Yeah. But if you didn't say anything, I would not have ended up looking for the disappointed horse. And I can truly say that horse really does look disappointed. Which is what I feel now after hearing this bill has been passed.

blaspheme - Things said against the Church or God; To commit blasphemy; to speak against God or religious doctrine.

This is one law I will never obey. It is to protect the pedos sitting in the church... A complete and utter shambles of a law.

We find out something serious is wrong, then make a law to stop people talking about it... good fcuking game Ireland...

The church and rot and burn in the pits of hell...

I could understand that this law could be published to protect religions and churches from attack when it is not justified... but the like of the ryan report? Fcuk that...

I hope this country, and all the scum (politicians) BURNS... I hate this hell hole even more day by day.

smokingman

Well, that's the end of the ole "Jesus, Mohammad and Budda walk into a bar" jokes...

Will boards have to be censored now? Bet the mods are relishing that thought!

Wazdakka

This is actually the last Fucking straw..

If this goes through I am leaving this country for good.

I'm trying to control myself right now from writing a ten page rant on how god damn retarded this is.

Somebody said this to me the other day and I honestly thought they were joking??

:mad::mad::mad: I'm so angry at the exact opposite of forward thinking in this country.

AARRGHH... it's just so Fucking ridiculous.

organisation???

This is the worst thing ever. I'm actually shocked beyond words.

the country is turning into such a joke and the laughing stock of Europe, not to mention what a waste of time it is for our TD's!

Disgraceful

What an absolute joke of bill. Who honestly thought this was a great idea and was really needed now ?

F*cking idiots that's who.

MrStuffins

So hang on, has it gone through?

Just to clear up, blasphemy is now illegal?

If that is the case i'm outta the this country.

It's just a matter of time before the US come storming in to "Liberate" us!

Wazdakka

I'm going to go and do some research about the background of this bill,
For the sole reason that if I bump into the person whose fault this is in the street,
I want to know what they look like so I can punch them in the face. :mad:
