Section 2: Analysis of Prohibition to Incitement of Hatred Act, 1989
2.1 Interpretation
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]This section contains a clause-by-clause description and analysis of the current Prohibition to Incitement of Hatred Act 1989.
[/FONT]Broadcast [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]– transmission, relaying or distribution by wireless telegraphy or by any other means or by wireless telegraphy in conjunction with any other means of communications, sounds, signs, visual images or signals, intended for direct reception by the general public whether such communications, sounds, signs, visual images or signals are actually received or not;

[/FONT]Publish [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]- to the public or a section of the public;
[/FONT]Recording [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]– includes visual images or sounds, which may be reproduced (by any means). It also includes references to the distribution, showing or playing of such recordings to the public or sections of the public;
[/FONT]Written material [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]- includes any sign or other visual representation.
[/FONT]Comment:
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]Whilst this section is concerned with definitions and interpretations it fails to address the issue of exactly what constitutes ‘incitement’. This would appear to be a lacuna owing to the ambiguous nature of incitement. Elsewhere incitement has been defined as ‘a conscious and motivated act’ which requires the subjective judgement of the Court.5

[/FONT]Defences: [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]No intention to stir up hatred/Lack of awareness of the content of the offensive material/ No reason to suspect material was threatening, abusive or insulting.

Tackling Racism on the Internet

[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]

Tackling racism on the Internet may be difficult but not insurmountable. Laws, commercial rules and guidelines apply to the Internet and many states lay down criteria making its legislation applicable to on-line activity or content. The recent successful action taken by the French government in respect of Nazi memorabilia being sold on an American internet provider with a French subsidiary demonstrates that there may be further potential for national governments in tackling racism on the internet through legal action.34
The Irish Government are currently revising the Incitement to Hatred legislation (1989) and the NCCRI will be advising on the specific inclusion of the internet within the terms of the revised legislation.

Irish service providers and the Irish domain registration company may have an important role in developing promoting anti racism policies and codes of conduct

While I don't agree with the death sentence being in Ireland I do think that paedophiles should have their genitals and hands removed. And beaten with a hose for a few hours, same goes for rapists
