This is an exceptionally important post. If you are Irish or live in Ireland its a must read.

[Patrick McGreal @PSIA1851]

The Garda Síochána Powers Bill 2026 is now moving through the Oireachtas, and people need to understand what it means for their constitutional rights. This is not a small technical Bill. It goes right to the heart of personal liberty, privacy, and the limits of State power.

The first major issue is personal liberty. Under Article 40.4 of the Constitution, your freedom of movement is protected. You cannot be detained unless it is strictly in accordance with law. But this Bill allows Gardaí to require a person who is not under arrest to accompany them to a Garda station for a search. That is a deprivation of liberty in substance. Irish law is clear. If someone restricts your movement without proper authority, that is false imprisonment. And the law says consent is not valid if it is obtained by force, threat, or by making you believe you have no choice. This Bill risks creating detention without arrest and without the safeguards that normally protect people.

The second issue is privacy and personal data. The Bill gives Gardaí the power to operate your electronic devices, extract your data, copy it, and keep it. That means your messages, your photos, your contacts, your private life. The Constitution protects your personal rights, including privacy and the integrity of your data. These powers are extremely broad, and the Bill does not include strong limits or protections for sensitive information. There are no special safeguards for journalists, lawyers, political activists, or children. Once your data is taken, it can be examined and stored, and that raises serious constitutional concerns.

The third issue is the inviolability of the home. The Constitution protects your dwelling with the highest level of security. But this Bill allows search warrants for a wide range of offences, including some that are minor. When you combine that with the digital powers, it means a search of your home could lead to a full extraction of your digital life. That may not be proportionate or necessary.

The fourth issue is freedom of expression and assembly. Expanded stop and search powers in public places can have a chilling effect on protests, political gatherings, and public demonstrations. People may feel intimidated or afraid to attend events if they believe they can be stopped, searched, or have their devices taken without strong justification.

The fifth issue is the rights of children. The Bill does not contain child‑specific protections. Children’s phones and devices often contain extremely sensitive information. There is no special procedure for searching minors or handling their data. That is a major gap.

This is not about being anti Garda. It is about ensuring that any new powers respect the Constitution. Personal liberty, privacy, the home, freedom of expression, and the rights of children are not optional. They are fundamental rights. And once powers like these are handed over, they are very difficult to take back.

People need to understand what is in this Bill now, while it is still moving through the Oireachtas. Your rights matter. Your privacy matters. Your freedom matters. And this Bill deserves serious public scrutiny.

Always keep a close eye on the Bills our Oireachtas members are presenting. In this instance, the Bill is being presented on behalf of the Minister for Justice, who holds a statutory office, not TD Jim O’Callaghan personally.

Ministerial actions are carried out by corporate bodies under section 2 of the Ministers and Secretaries Act 1924, which means they are less directly accountable than an individual Senator or TD.

BREAKING: Iranian state TV says that anyone who protests in the streets will be shot.

These are crimes against humanity and a violation of the Geneva Convention.

Greta Thunberg? Silent.

Mehdi Hasan? Silent.

Cenk Uygur? Silent.

The media? Silent.

The UN? Silent.

[Oli London @OliLondonTV]

The Iranian regime is shooting civilians in the streets.

Where are the Hollywood celebrities?

Where is the UN?

Where is Greta Thunberg?

Where are the ‘Free Palestine’ activists?

They are silent.

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

BREAKING: Thousands of BRAVE Iranians are taking to the streets on the 11th day of the uprising against the Islamic Republic's terrorist regime.

The mainstream media is IGNORING this.

Make it go viral. Share it everywhere.

@RealEmirHan Jane's Punisher did have the odd sprinkle of movie golddust. He and Kevin Nash put on one of the best and funniest fight sequences ever.

[Paul Treyvaud @PaulTreyvaud]

The only people that have ‘white privilege’ in this country are those in government

They’ve labelled us every name under the sun

They continuously under perform

They’ve squandered billions of taxpayers money over the last decade

They are completely incapable of doing their job

They are always learning lessons

They have zero accountability when they make a mess of things

They flip flop on multiple topics and policies depending on which way the wind blows

They seem more concerned about every other nations problems over ours

They have made a mess of housing

They continuously set new records on homelessness

They have made an absolute joke of the children’s hospital

They are responsible for the worst diplomatic relationships that we have with multiple nations for decades

They have decimated tourism

They have made it impossible for small family run businesses make ends meet

They are responsible for our insane cost of living crisis

They lie to us on a daily basis

And they get paid handsomely for that and get away with it

That’s privilege (they all just happen to be white)

@kawecki_maciej @elonmusk No, Elon is dead on here. There's an awful lot of "us" who are sick to the back teeth of EU dictates. This malignant kakistocracy needs to be removed.

@kom_racing Don't buy it. It's not chocolate anymore very few main brands are. A box of quality street was opened in our house last year it had a strong chemical smell. It's pure poison.
