As of 1st January 2010 the Irish government brought into force a new blasphemy law, punishable by a fine of up to 25,000 euro.
Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern justified this irrational action by arguing that while immigration has brought a growing diversity of religious faiths to Ireland, the 1936 constitution extended the protection of beliefs only to Christians. (Guardian Online)
This new blasphemy law goes against our civil rights and denies us the gift of freedom of speech. Let's make a stand now and show our support for a secular, modern and equal republic.
