I agree this would be a very bad outcome. It could be worse than the blasphemy laws in the sense that it could be more defined, and therefore more usable.
I don't know who came up with the idea of having "incitement to religious hatred" as a separate category to more general incitement to hatred but this proposition is now being bandied about as a viable alternative to the blasphemy laws.

It's only fair that we have the corollary law of "incitement to hatred from religion", if this is to go ahead. I wonder if the same religious folk would be equally up for this?

Public meeting today 7.30pm DCU

Just a reminder that the first Dublin regional public meeting is today at 7.30 pm in Dublin City University. It is in HG20, Nursing Building, which is just inside the Collins Avenue Extension entrance to DCU.

The more people who stand up and say that you want Secularism / Separation of Church and State included on the Convention’s agenda, the better.

Also, please keep making written submissions, if you haven’t already done so, and please also ask others to do so.

Church and State is now very close to the two topics with most submissions to date, which are ESC Rights and the Environment.

The Convention members will be voting in early December as to what they will discuss for their final item, so we have two to three weeks to let them know that there is public support for them discussing Church and State.

There are another fifteen submissions on Church and State published on the Convention website today.

Please make a submission if you haven't already done so, and please ask others to do do so if you have.
