Crowd shot from behind of yesterday's Free Speech rally. Over 350 Free Speech demonstrators in attendance against no more than 300 pro government activists.

Even all the government funding in the world cannot compete with grass roots people power!

But it's ok for an elected member of Dáil Éireann to speak at a similar conference in July, in the same venue held by the same group on the same topic.
The only difference is that your mother, brother and sisters are all members & activists of this party.
Did you question him about it at the time or do you just like picking on women? Your hypocrisy reeks.
Do you honestly hate #catholics or #christians voices this much?

[Senator Sharon Keogan @SenatorKeogan]

Taoiseach says we won't be stopping immigrants from coming to Ireland, even though the bar has now been set so low for any citizen seeking emergency accommodation. Tents are not acceptable for our own or for refugees. I want to thank the community of #Stradbally for all their hard work supporting these families over the last 4 weeks. You have done your Christian duty. I want this government to look after what is here and our own 13,000 homelessness.

@JoeBrolly1993 @GrannyCahill @spotifypodcasts @ApplePodcasts @paulmurphy_TD @RBoydBarrett Kind of agree. Culture war issues being championed by quite a few NGOs, particularly the government funded, distract from the main issues.

Young people for example are mobilizing around trans rights instead of over the fact their generation may never own a home.

@gearoidmurphy_ I think there are a handful of "our guys" in there, but theyre playing the game.

The media is so heavily stacked in the regime's favour, its only with the emergence of a few small anti-establishment outlets that theyre occasionally speaking out.

@liamherrick When you're the head of a civil liberties organisation it doesn't mean you support civil liberties.

@Mraids69 @JoeDalyPBPMayo In a sense, honourable to defend your own. Just the OTT response people fear rather than having the piss taken out of them back.

[Stop Fine Gael Speech Laws @DefendOurSpeech]

@JoeDalyPBPMayo Take a joke, mate. Comedy actually does more to bring us together. Making certain topics taboo does more to make different groups feel awkward around each other

FACT-CHECK ℹ️:

Minister McEntee claims that “we are introducing hate crime legislation for the first time, which does not exist in this country.”

FALSE ❌:

According to the Irish Times in 2017: “Ireland has one piece of hate crime legislation, the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act 1989.”

@NotAllGays Thats great! Maybe it just took a while to get here

@EdF0g This account exclusively deals with free speech issues... are you sure you just mean "causes you dont like"?

I get that individuals such as yourself throw around terms like "extremist" and "anti-semite" so often you might get confused.

[Stop Fine Gael Speech Laws @DefendOurSpeech]

@RebelsForPeace @LeCheileDND Yes it is... no matter how many times you repeat it...

[Stop Fine Gael Speech Laws @DefendOurSpeech]

@LeCheileDND @UnitedARacism @DubTrans @TENI_Tweets @DublinPride @ailbhes @NWCI @OrlaNWCI @INARIreland @RainbowRefugeNI @RebelsForPeace You guys are sad. Can wait to see all 6 of you there.

Likely only off app though, not browser. Would have to be phone or program downloaded.

Contemporary governments are, like all those before, not impervious to the temptations of censorship. Politically dissenting narratives are, and always will be, a nuisance to those is power, yet they are a vital part of democracy.

Cant get over how the state agency responsible for pushing p*rn on kids is literally called Lgma.... Lgma balls!

[gript @griptmedia]

A Dublin librarian has revealed that a state agency, the LGMA, “instructed” libraries to display sexually explicit books in its teens section – a move which has led to a storm of controversy.

@griptmedia @FreeSpeechIre This is a very important event. If you care about your individual rights and the rights of your children, the proposed hate speech legislation needs to be stopped.

[The Burkean @TheBurkeanIE]

"Irish populists are also getting ready to run one-man campaigns of their own. It’s new to them, unfamiliar terrain and a long way from what they’re used to. Which makes those other campaigns stirring to life sound ominous."
