'This kind of harassment is reprehensible and entirely unacceptable and can in no way be described as legitimate protest.'

The scenes from Min O Gorman's house tonight are disgusting. This kind of intimidation has no place in our country and democracy. You can be annoyed and angry at Govt policy but protest at constituency offices or the Dail...leave people's homes and families out of it.

We are appealing the ruling that upheld Uganda's draconian Anti-Homosexuality Act. This discriminatory law must be struck down to protect the human rights and dignity of LGBTQ+ Ugandans. We will continue fighting this until justice and equality prevail.

We must not allow contrived ‘culture wars’ impede long promised legislation, whether that be Safe Access Zones & abortion review, hate crime or banning so-called ‘conversion therapy’ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Real people and real lives depend on delivery.

The NXF is pleased to hear Minister Helen McEntee TD re-affirm commitment to Hate Crime Bill & calling out misinformation.

This long awaited Bill is about updating our laws & protecting minorities.

Now needs to go back before Seanad on road to enactment.

Mick Clifford is correct. We only need to look across the Irish Sea to see where populist ‘go it alone’ rhetoric leads..

Any serious attempt to address migration clearly requires 🇪🇺 wide approach & cooperation.

Hate Crime laws are the norm in western liberal democracies. For good reason. 🇮🇪 is currently an outlier.

🇮🇪 already has a hate speech law…from 1989. But it needs to be updated for online age (Dub riots..)

Facts over disinformation & proxy culture wars.

The right to walk the streets and not be victimised by hate crime for who you are is a safety issue.

The right not to subjected to criminal incitement to hatred by extremists (e.g. Dublin riots) is about safety.

Enacting Hate Crime Bill is about safety on our streets

The #ComeOut4EU campaign has just hit 200 signatures! Thank you to the 200 #EUElections2024 candidates who have so far committed to #LGBTI human rights in the and a future Europe that’s committed to freedom, democracy, and equality for all. comeout.eu

Today’s verdict on Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act undermines human rights and public health for all and poses grave threats to LGBTQI+ Ugandans and allies. Uganda’s international reputation and ability to increase foreign investment depend on equality under the law.

'Hatred has been far too pervasive in our society. We have to take strong action against it.'

A welcome, factual piece in contrast to the 'culture war' driven disinformation targeting the #HateCrime Bill.

It's time to refocus on why we need to update our laws.

Alison O'Connor also right to call out revisionism of some.
