During our honeymoon, my wife and I were blessed to tour the southern end of Ireland. It is a place brimming with history and beauty. We saw little villages, the Cliffs of Moher, and churches that have stood for somewhere in the neighborhood of a thousand years. And we met the people. Kind, funny, generous, and wise, despite the sad and troubled history of the island. It was in a pub in Ireland that a bartender taught me how to pour a “proper Guinness.”
Almost a year ago, the government was making noises about creating “no prayer zones” around places that provided abortions. From Catholic Arena in July of 2022:
In a complete panic after the overturn of Roe vs. Wade in the United States, Ireland’s incompetent government is now moving to establish anti prayer zones across the country, where a person can be jailed for praying against abortion or for encouraging people to give birth to their baby instead of killing it.
The establishment has waged a long and lackluster war on prolife prayer in an effort to justify such zones, yet now they are proceeding regardless of any real evidence and are doing so in defiance of the public advice of Garda Commissioner Drew Harris, who has repeatedly rejected the need for such legislation, stating that it was not necessary.
Some of the efforts by the establishment, and we include Sinn Fein, the Social Democrats and Labour in that list, have been ones of pure desperation.
This development was not unexpected. Green Party Senator Pauline O’Reilly wants to limit free speech in order to keep everyone safe.

And then there is the proposal to eliminate 65,000 cows to address climate change. If nothing else, we can take some measure of cold comfort in the fact that left-wing authoritarianism is not limited to the United States. As it is, the whole world is going to hell together. It’s a doomed world, after all.

Ireland's proposed new anti prayer zones by county
Under legislation to be approved today, some areas will have over 20 places where people will face a fine of €2,500 or six months in jail for silently praying within 100m, if they are suspected of praying against abortion.

This world will be restored when Jesus Christ returns. That is something I take comfort in.
I thought Iteland was a no prayer zone.
That sounds familiar. I’m pretty sure Sodom and Gomorrah were some of the first “No Prayer Zones” weren’t they? Or was it nearer the Tower of Babylon?
St Patrick is rolling over in his grave.
Totalitarianism is surging in formerly free countries.
It’s world wide.
Yep.
Because WEF.
We should do this. We should call them “No Constitution zones.”
They can be centered on the campuses of large universities.
The biggest FU the citizens can do is gather en mass and have a huge public prayer session. Come and get us commie tyrants.
The British government and royal family are probably wondering why they wasted their time, resources and energy suppressing this land of stunted losers for so long.
The Catholic Church in Ireland collapsed in 2011 due to scandals involving children and sex, so this development is to be expected.
RE: We should do this. We should call them “No Constitution zones.”
Ireland does not have the First Amendment.
Then Ireland caved to legalizing abortion. Sorry if people are used to it but it’s pure evil nothing can change tgat.
It raises hell. So does it’s root, birth control.
That’s an example of what can happen when a western country has an Indian faggot as a Prime Minister.

Woul you have preferred a white faggot instead?
They should have a look at the US, just to see what happens when you make something into NO Prayer zones.
Like, say, schools.
Does that rule also apply to Muslims?
