Having asked some native Irish people why the leaders of Ireland are pushing so hard this new "anti hate" law the answer I got back was this.
The native Irish people are tired , angry, and frighten that the beautiful culture of Ireland is in the process of been destroyed by the massive import of Africans and muslims. The government fears the people will turn to the IRA for help so starting a new civil war. The new "hate laws" can be used to crush any free speech and to stop people from standing together to save Ireland. Total control and oppression of the native Irish people is what the government wants.
Bad times are coming to Ireland
