Public Meeting: Opposing Hate Speech Bill - Wynn's Hotel Abbey Street Weds 7th Dec @ 7pm

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Tuesday December 06, 2022 22:08author by Free Speech Ireland

The Hate Speech Bill is an anti democratic bill and is all about shutting down free speech under the pretext of hate speech. A reading of the proposed legisalation as analysed by Tracey O'Mahoney shows the terms and definitions and conditions are so loose that it can and will be used to silence anyone who questions the narrative or government. This bill must be opposed.

Speakers:
Mattie McGrath TD
Professor Gerard Casey
Senator Sharon Keogan
Ian O'Doherty
