Europe is taking Ireland to court over peat harvesting.
Let that sink in for a moment.

For generations, Irish families cut turf to heat their homes. Long before the European Union existed, turf was part of rural life, local tradition, and economic survival. Now unelected officials in Brussels believe they can drag Ireland before a court because Irish people continue to use a resource that has been part of this land for centuries.

What many seem to forget is that the supreme law of this country is Bunreacht na hÉireann.

Article 5 states that Ireland is a sovereign, independent, democratic state.

Article 6 states that all powers of government derive, under God, from the people.

Article 1 declares the Irish Nation's inalienable right to determine its own form of government and relations with other nations.

The Constitution was not created to make the Irish people subjects of external bureaucracies. It was created to protect the nation, its people, its lands, and its sovereignty.

The Irish courts have repeatedly recognised the Constitution as the fundamental law of the State. In cases such as Crotty v An Taoiseach, the Supreme Court affirmed that significant transfers of sovereignty require constitutional authority and, where necessary, the consent of the people.

This raises an important question....

How much control over Ireland's land, resources, energy policy, agriculture, and rural traditions can be transferred away before the constitutional principle of self government is undermined?

Peatlands should be protected where appropriate. Environmental stewardship matters. But decisions affecting Irish communities should be made with the consent of the Irish people, not imposed through threats of legal action from institutions that are far removed from the realities of rural Ireland.

The issue here is bigger than turf.

Today it is peat harvesting.

Yesterday it was fisheries.

Tomorrow it may be farming, land use, energy, housing, or water.

The real debate is about who governs Ireland.

The Constitution begins from the principle that sovereignty rests with the people of Ireland. Any discussion about peat, climate policy, or environmental regulation must start there.

The Irish people are not merely stakeholders in their own country. According to the Constitution, they are the source of all lawful political authority. Whether one agrees or disagrees with peat harvesting, that principle should never be forgotten.

[The Pickled Onions @PickledPat]

@_louise__ It's an attack on property rights unsurprisingly as is our limited fishery quota.

Who needs to attack a country when her leaders are so weak minded that they'll give it away for free? (Even though it's not theirs to give away)

[The Pickled Onions @PickledPat]

@Toibin1 They are signing us up for voluntary punishment beatings. It's quite incredible.

@IrishTimes 😂

[The Pickled Onions @PickledPat]

@SuzieD755164 There's a strong case for swift execution coming back to discourage certain individuals from ever stepping foot in our country and to warn politicians that enable their pathway.

[The Pickled Onions @PickledPat]

@rtenews Who gives a shit what met Éireann ever had to say??
We know what the weather is like because we have windows and radiators 😂

Remind taxpayers that RTE steals about 1/4 billion a year to feed horse shit to non thinkers.
The bottom of the barrel.

The Irish Govt's decision to join the EU Migration Pact could go down as one of worst decisions in the history of the State.

We had the option to Opt-Out
We are not in Schengen
We have a common travel area with the UK

The lack of debate, media attention and opposition is alarming.

I made this vide exactly 2 years ago:

@Mick_O_Keeffe @FergusPower1 Let the judge that forgave him take him into his house with his family for the year or so that he unleashed him into my environment.

[The Pickled Onions @PickledPat]

@mullallyelaine They are slaves.

"They mightn't even know it" is the most benevolent phrase I can cough up.

Either way.. they are slaves..

I will never be a slave.

[The Pickled Onions @PickledPat]

@Mark_J_Henry @CSOIreland I know that they are (in general) weak and low intelligence politicians pretending to run the country...

But I find it deeply sinister that they pushed killing unborn children especially at a time when they knew well that we were well below fertility replacement rate.

[The Pickled Onions @PickledPat]

@Mark_J_Henry @CSOIreland Fertility replacement is 2.1 - 2.3 per woman in a country.
Fertility rate in Ireland in 2018 was 1.75 according to CSO.
And...
Instead of encouraging couples to have more children by giving tax breaks to bigger families ala Hungary.

The frunch bunch instead promoted abortion

[The Pickled Onions @PickledPat]

@rtenews It's cold out tonight you dribbling gobshites 😂

[The Pickled Onions @PickledPat]

@courtsnewsIRL Never let him in again.

[The Pickled Onions @PickledPat]

@visegrad24 That's an inch away from saying "sure everyone's going to die someday so who cares if we handcuffed the victim of a murderous knife attack" 🤷

Fucking hell. RIP Henry Nowak.

@griptmedia @Ben_Scallan "Parental guidance is optimum in any material given to a child under 18".

Parents aren't promoting the book Mrs Foley.
A taxpayer funded state broadcasting agency is. @NormaFoleyTD1

This isn't difficult.
