Please sign our petition below to demonstrate to Helen McEntee
that Ireland has no appetite for so-called "Hate Speech" laws.

We as a society value our human right to Freedom of Speech and reject the Justice Minister's proposed legislation to restrict it.

For evidence that Helen McEntee's Hate Speech laws may be applied selectively, we only need look at the cases of Glenn Miller and Hermann Kelly.

Both organised public protests during lockdown, as did BLM. However only Kelly and Miller face prosecution from the Dep of Justice.
Justice Minister McEntee and the government shamelessly use any incident of violent crime against a minority group to further their agenda of restricting Freedom of Speech in Ireland.

Lumping in speech with violence, in an attempt to push these "Hate Laws" through.

Great (rainy) day in Ashbourne, Co. Meath! Our volunteers spent the day leafleting and chatting with locals about our opposition to Helen McEntee’s Hate Speech Bill.
We are out in Bettystown meeting locals and spreading awareness about
Helen McEntee's proposed "Hate Speech" bill. Warm reception on the doors. Not many constituents supportive of censorship!

Today in farce: Hate speech, hate crime and Helen Mcentees mission to kill free speech
FSI to Breitbart:

"As recently as 2018 the Irish public affirmed the right to free speech in the Blasphemy Referendum.

This government is seeking to restrict the speech of voters while members of the Dáil would have special protections for their own."
