HELL NO — Now that the elections are over FFG is opting Ireland into the #EUMigrationPact which will transfer control of our borders over to the pro globalist EU bureaucracy. They have no mandate to do this. It should be put to the people for referendum now.

Ensuring Integrity in Irish Elections: A Call for Legislative Review;

I fully support offering refuge to genuine asylum seekers and refugees. It's our moral obligation and reflects Ireland's core values of compassion and solidarity. However, voting in Irish elections is a right reserved for citizens. It's a cornerstone of our democracy, requiring a solid legal and civic connection to our nation. Asylum seekers and refugees must become citizens before gaining voting rights, after fully integrating into our society. This ensures the integrity of our democratic processes while upholding our duty to protect and support those in need. #RefugeesWelcome #IrishCitizenship

I have asked Mullingar Court Office for the costs associated with this appeal, and I would be grateful for any support in covering these costs. I can draft the applications and bring this action into the Court to have this legislation reviewed and brought in line with the provisions of the Constitution of Ireland.

Reviewing this legislation in a court of justice is crucial because it currently extends voting rights to asylum seekers and refugees in a manner that is ultra vires—beyond the powers granted by the Constitution. According to the Constitution of Ireland, the right to vote in elections is strictly reserved for citizens. Any extension of this right must be explicitly legislated by the Oireachtas, not through administrative regulations.

Ensuring that our laws align with the Constitution is fundamental to maintaining the rule of law and the integrity of our democratic system. By bringing this issue before the Court, we can correct any constitutional discrepancies, thereby reinforcing the sovereignty and democratic principles of our nation. It is vital that only those with an established legal and civic relationship with the state participate in the electoral process, safeguarding the legitimacy and fairness of our elections.

Voting Rights Under ARTICLE 28A.4 of the Constitution of Ireland; Constitutional Provision: ARTICLE 28A.4 of the Constitution of Ireland provides that "Every citizen who has the right to vote at an election for members of Dáil Éireann and such other persons as may be determined by law shall have the right to vote at an election for members of such of the local authorities referred to in section 2 of this Article as shall be determined by law."

9th Amendment of the Constitution (1984):
The 9th Amendment to the Constitution of Ireland, enacted in 1984, modified Article 16.1.2° to extend voting rights to "All citizens, and such other persons in the State as may be determined by law."

This amendment specifically allowed British citizens and European Union (EU) citizens residing in Ireland to vote, contingent upon reciprocal arrangements.

Exclusion of Asylum Seekers and Refugees:
The 9th Amendment and subsequent legislation explicitly extended voting rights to British and EU citizens but did not include asylum seekers and refugees.

Asylum seekers and refugees are not covered under the current legislative framework and do not have the right to vote in local elections.

The clear language of ARTICLE 28A.4, combined with the specific determinations made under the 9th Amendment, indicates that only citizens, British citizens, and EU citizens have the right to vote in local elections as determined by law.

There is no explicit provision within the 9th Amendment or subsequent legislation that grants voting rights to asylum seekers and refugees.

Strengthening the Argument with S.I. No. 175/2004:
Clarification of Voting Rights Legislation:

Electoral Act, 1992: Section 10 of this Act states that a person must be ordinarily resident in a local electoral area and be at least 18 years old to be registered as a local government elector. However, it does not specifically determine that asylum seekers and refugees have the right to vote.

Introduction of S.I. No. 175/2004:
The Electoral (Amendment) Regulations 2004 (S.I. No. 175/2004) were enacted to include certain documents as valid for voter identification purposes. These documents include:
1. Temporary Residence Certificate card
2. Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) card
3. Travel documents containing the holder's name and photograph

Misinterpretation of S.I. No. 175/2004: Some politicians and advocates have been misrepresenting S.I. No. 175/2004 as a legal mechanism that allows asylum seekers and refugees to vote. They argue that the inclusion of Temporary Residence Certificate cards and GNIB cards as valid identification suggests that these groups are entitled to vote.
However, this S.I. only addresses the types of identification that may be used at polling stations. It does not extend or determine voting rights for asylum seekers and refugees.

Link to the 1992 Act: S.I. No. 175/2004 amends the procedures in the Electoral Act, 1992, specifically regarding acceptable forms of voter identification.
Despite these amendments, the fundamental requirement of being "ordinarily resident" and the absence of explicit provision for asylum seekers and refugees to vote under Section 10 of the 1992 Act remains unchanged.

Constitutional Requirement: Article 16.1.2° of the Constitution of Ireland states that voting rights can only be extended to "such other persons in the State as may be determined by law." Since there is no specific legislation that explicitly grants voting rights to asylum seekers and refugees, they are not determined by law to have these rights, fulfilling the constitutional requirement.

Implications for Legal Challenges: The misinterpretation of S.I. No. 175/2004 as granting voting rights to asylum seekers and refugees highlights the need for clear legal challenges.
Adding this information to the Election Civil Bill will strengthen the argument by clarifying that while certain identification documents are accepted, they do not inherently confer voting rights.

The inclusion of S.I. No. 175/2004 in the argument serves to clarify that the regulation pertains to acceptable identification at polling stations, not the extension of voting rights. This strengthens the case that asylum seekers and refugees are not legally entitled to vote under current Irish law, as there is no explicit legislation granting them this right. By pursuing legal challenges and adding this information to the Election Civil Bill, there is a stronger foundation to uphold the Constitution and ensure accurate interpretation and application of voting laws.

A small corrupt core of politicians, judges, civil, public, and law servants have been for decades slowly manipulating our laws to steal our rights away for self-gain. In Ireland, we do not have an impartial judiciary and we do not have an independent legislature. What we have is a power-hungry executive with insidious Secretary Generals of the various departments and a pack of legal snakes working as their enforcers for the Office of Parliamentary Legal Advisers. These people are traitors.

@UNHCR & our so called government failed to inform asylum seekers & refugees of the full requirements to be considered ordinarily resident & to obtain voting rights in Ireland:

Immigration and Asylum Process: Asylum seekers must complete the process as outlined in Sections 13, 15, 27, 39, 42, 47, and 54 of the International Protection Act 2015.

Grant of Refugee Status: Asylum seekers must fulfill Sections 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 16, and 17 of the Refugee Act 1996 to be granted refugee status.

Path to Citizenship: To vote, a refugee must become a citizen. This involves residing in Ireland legally for at least 5 out of the previous 9 years, including 1 year of continuous residence immediately before applying for citizenship. They must submit an application for naturalization to the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) with proof of identity, residence, and good character, along with the necessary fee. Upon approval by the Minister for Justice, they are invited to a citizenship ceremony to make a declaration of fidelity to the nation and loyalty to the state, after which they receive a Certificate of Naturalisation, enabling them to apply for an Irish passport.

Relevant legislation includes the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956 (as amended), the Refugee Act 1996, and the International Protection Act 2015.

There are substantial requirements to vote in local elections that our government has failed to adhere to when it comes to asylum seekers & refugees.

[Patrick McGreal @PSIA1851]

On May 16th, 2024, @UNHCR falsely stated that "all adults regardless of how recently they have arrived to Ireland" could vote. This led to asylum seekers and refugees illegally voting, violating Irish law and the Constitution. Government officials were complicit, failing to counteract the misinformation and allowing this illegal activity to proceed unchecked. Tomorrow morning, I will upload the election petition, and it will be filed in Mullingar Court House by 12 noon. #ElectionIntegrity #Ireland #UpholdTheLaw

The Election Civil Bill has been lodged at the Mullingar Court Office. The Clerk has taken possession and will ensure everything is in order. Following that, a stamp fee of €130 and a secure deposit of €381 must be paid. This action to strengthen our democracy has now commenced. #ElectionBill #MullingarCourt #Democracy #LegalProcess #CivicDuty #StrengtheningDemocracy
