The Catholic Church did not call for this law nor did any other religious group in Ireland so it's a strawman argument to say that religious people are demanding the right not to be offended. I'm Catholic and I do not support the Defamation Bill. Google 'International Free Press Society' to read an interesting article about the blasphemy law.

Atheist conspiracy theory it is then!

[vulcan1981]

Just a thought, what does the Irish man cliche have to do with any of this???

[Darwinsgift]

When blasphemy laws are considered necessary then it proves to me that the cliche still exists!

[OpeningSalvoe]

eh don't you have those ridiculous anti race hate laws in britain, where's the difference, as I fail to see it? The british government seems both weak aswell as stupid to me right now, it's just crippled by political correctness.

[Darwinsgift]

You will get no argument from me either about the rotten parliament that we now have in Britain and much of the western world. To be honest I couldn't care less about a Gay image as I have never had any reason to hate Gay's, they simply do not bother me or concern me as they do not try and pass laws to stop heterosexuals. Pedos are a different matter! Blasphemy however is just nonsense!

@Pushtrak be removed, which I am hopeful for, obviously.

@Pushtrak Instead of bringing about a referendum and take the law out, Ahern decided to add crap to it in the form of the fine. He did say on RTE TV that he wished a referendum to take place on the issue when the country was in a state where it could afford it. And it came across by the way he was talking that he'd like the law removed.

I'm looking forward to that referendum coming up, and should the negativity towards Catholicism be strong at the time of the referendum, the blasphemy law could

[Pushtrak]

Very strange religious ideas. Definitely so. I speak from seeing it on a daily basis. I'm a big opponent to Catholicism specifically and religion in general. But even the more religious people are being vocal against the catholic church.

The way the religion came about was, as you said Dermot Ahern. There was a blasphemy law in the constitution, which was only brought to court once. That one time the person wasn't found guilty as they couldn't define what was blasphemous.

@Darwin's Gift i think your coming at this from the wrong angle ,these people that made this law are not stupid ,they know exactly what they are doing ,this is about islam, and not upsetting them ,this is like a nod to them saying we the GOVT are on your side ,so please dont be blowing anything up as we cant afford to fix it ,as the country is bankrupt:))

[fetalbetal]

I'm an American Irish blooded anti-theist.. why work for the Church? Also, are you vocal or secretive?

[oregand]

The reason this law was enacted was due to a constitutional requirement, a simple referendum on the subject would render the need for such laws as void. I agree that religious freedoms should be guaranteed by the state, however free speech should surpass the right of a religious group not to be insulted.

I am an Atheist in Ireland...and ironically I work for the Catholic church. Thanks for highlighting this law. But please understand that we are a 1st world country and on a day to day basis this law has made no difference at all...we're not backward...that's just one bad law.

Thanks for highlighting the issue.

"Hello emergency services" says the operator.

"Put me through to the police right away" said the irishman. "I want to report two counts of blasphemy...oh and get an ambulance down here while you're at it.

[RationalConclusion]

An englishman, scottishman and irishman were walking through an irish town.

Suddenly a car came speeding down the high street, mounted the pavement and killed a young woman right in front of them.

"Bloody hell" said the englishman.

"Jesus Christ!" said the scottishman.

The irishman wasted no time and darted to the nearest phone box to call the emergency services.

Shocked and stunned at what he had just witnessed he grabbed the reciever and dialled 999.
