Ireland's prime minister pledged to modernise laws against hatred in the coming weeks after 34 people were arrested for rioting in Dublin on Thursday night.

"We will pass new laws in the coming weeks to enable the Gardai (police) to make better use of the CCTV evidence they collected yesterday, and also we will modernise our laws against incitement to hatred and hatred in general," Varadkar told a news conference on Friday.

"I think it's now very obvious to anyone who might have doubted us that our incitement to hatred legislation is just not up to date. It's not up to date for the social media age. And we need that legislation through within a matter of weeks."

Hatred in general. Is this a new war on emotions?

B,b,but people only just want to be able to hate whom they want to hate.
Your “truth” that hate is bad is relative, right?

https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/74ed9-new-bill-to-tackle-hate-crime-and-hate-speech-includes-clear-provision-to-protect-freedom-of-expression/


proposed in 22

Minister McEntee said:

“We are all horrified when we hear of homophobic, racist, and other hateful incidents in our country. While these repulsive acts of violence and abuse against innocent people have been extensively reported on, we know that some people go about their lives constantly in fear of abuse simply because of who they are.

“Although it is a small minority of individuals carrying out these reprehensible acts and spouting this abuse, there is a clear desire from the public that these individuals need to be dealt with in the appropriate way.

“This Bill provides separately for hate crime and for hate speech, but on the basis of the same protected characteristics.

“All provisions throughout the Bill have been carefully developed to ensure it is victim-centred and effective in securing convictions where serious crimes are committed, and the legislation follows extensive public consultation and research.”

Passing laws against emotion is simply a way to gut the rule of law.

Talk about tone-deaf. This guy is literally reacting to a terrorist atrocity against children by demanding more ability to suppress anyone who protests it. They don’t even pretend anymore, do they?

Varadkar is a huge part of the problem in Ireland. The “hate speech” legislation he and other lefties are pushing will make it a crime for the Irish to point out that the refuse being brought into the country is ruining their society.

“We will modernise our laws against …hatred in general”

Somehow I don’t think there’ll be any punishment for Irishmen hating the English.

Native Irish angry that their “leaders have shat countless violent ,Muslims and Africans that are destroying the country and stabbing their children is “THATS HATE.”

Stabbing Irish children, no biggie.
