I believe two referendums are now needed in Ireland.
The first should be on Irelandโs position regarding EU migration policy. The Irish people should have a direct say on major decisions that affect our country, our communities, and our public services. Legal migration is welcome and necessary. People who come here with proper visas, skills, and a willingness to contribute are an important part of Ireland. But uncontrolled or illegal migration, and any EU policy that limits Irelandโs ability to manage its own borders, should not be decided without the clear consent of the Irish people.
The second referendum should be on the future of RTร. It is time to ask the public whether RTร should remain publicly funded or be privatised. Many good and decent people work in RTร, and this is not an attack on them. But RTร must fully disassociate itself from political party influence, whether that influence is real or perceived.
Where any staff, presenters, board members, contributors, or decision-makers have current or past connections to political parties, those connections should be openly declared. A publicly funded broadcaster cannot be seen to have links, loyalties, or sympathies towards any political party, including Fine Gael, Fianna Fรกil, the Social Democrats, Labour, Sinn Fรฉin, independents, or any other political group. RTร must be completely independent, politically neutral, transparent, and accountable to the people who fund it.
Taxpayers are being asked to fund RTร while many ordinary people are struggling with the cost of living, housing, health, and public services. If RTร receives public money, then the Irish people deserve confidence that it represents all sections of society fairly, not just the views of political insiders or establishment parties.
The Irish people deserve a say on both issues. These decisions are too important to be left only to government, political parties, or insiders.
