Niamh Whelan SF candidate for Tallaght Central deletes her post mocking the working class community of Tallaght. Such disdain is no big surprise from a Sinn Féin candidate. Sinn Féin are the enemy of the people of Ireland and the Tallaght community, as well as every community in Ireland, should reject these arrogant and conceited Sinn Féin traitors. What is happening in Ireland is a war against the Irish people. Sinn Féin do NOT serve the interests of the Irish people but instead are hell-bent on implementing the globalist agenda of mass immigration which is destroying our country and the future of our children.
@sinnfeinireland@MaryLouMcDonald A party of bandwagon jumping, traitors to the Irish people, no integrity, the list goes on you absolute disgrace of a party. Mary were is your WEF badge you sellout. Worst opposition party ever #traitors

Put the pressure on to #BinTheBill: ACT NOW to fight back the most draconian Hate Speech Laws in Europe
After their massive defeat in the Referendum the Government will try to push through the Hate Speech Bill in the Seanad in the next couple of weeks. They know the tide is turning and the Irish people have had enough. This is why they will now go full throttle to try to silence us in an attempt to stop the growing resistance . There are only a few stages left for the Bill to pass through the Seanad. ACT NOW.
Get involved in the campaign by LFJI , Natural Women’s Council, IEA and Parents Rights Council. See below submissionto adapt as you wish and send to each of the 60 Senators TODAY(https://t.co/YO4ZxW35A7)
Dear (Insert Name of Senator)
Re: Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022 (‘Hate Crime Bill’)
The Hate Crime Bill was rushed through the Oireachtas at lighting speed without public scrutiny. It represents a monumental attack on the right to freedom of expression aa enshrined at Article 40.6. 1 of our Irish Constitution and Article 10.1 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and should be rejected in its entirety. It is the most draconian hate speech legislation in Europe with no definition of what constitutes ‘hatred’, the burden of proof based on ‘recklessness' rather than intention and the creation of a “thought crime” under Section 10, rebutting the presumption of innocence.
DEFINITION OF HATRED
The term 'hatred' is not defined under the Hate Crime Bill or the 1989 Act and is open to interpretation. There is a fundamental difference between inciting violence and 'hatred', which can mean different things to different people and opens the floodgates for complaints. Criminalising something subjective as likely to cause hatred is a direct attack on freedom of expression. Under the Hate Crime Bill is that a complainant does not have to demonstrate that objective harm has been caused by the alleged incitement of 'hatred'. In the absence of the requirement for evidence of actual harm, this is a monumental curtailment of the right to freedom of expression.
RECKLESSNESS
The fact that a person can be charged with an offence under the Hate Crime Bill on the grounds of recklessness, in the absence of the Mens Rea of criminal intention, raises significant concerns surrounding objective and subjective reasonableness, particularly in light of the gravity of the maximum sentencing.
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
Section 11 is in conflict with the State’s obligations to uphold the ECHRs. Article 10.2 provides that to be permissible, any restrictions on freedom of expression must pursue one of the aims recognised as legitimate and 'necessary is a democratic society'. The European Courts have repeatedly determined that any limitation to the right to freedom of expression must be convincingly established.
SECTION 10
Section 10(3) shifts the presumption of innocence under criminal law to the accused to prove that an offence has not been committed under 1(a) and (b). The definition of ‘reasonable’ is open to ambiguity due to vagueness as are the Section 10 (2) (a) to (c) defences, mirroring Section 7(3) above.
SEARCH WARRANT
The search and seizure warrant powers are uncertain, vague and open to abuse of ‘fishing expeditions’, particularly if granted under Section 10. Under Schedule 1 of ECHR search warrants must be precise and not excessive. Under Section 15 (7) a person who refuses to give over passwords to a computer can be charged with obstruction and subject to summary conviction to a Class A fine or imprisonment of 12 months. These powers and penalties are so excessive that they can simply not be justified as proportionate.
I call upon you to reject the Hate Speech Bill as it undermines the essential foundations of a democratic society by unjustifiably attacking our fundamental right to freedom of expression.
Yours etc
