Mrs McAleese puts her Presidential Foot in it! It seems that President of Ireland Mary McAleese has put her foot in it exposing the states intended attack on the Constitution before the official announcement supposedly being considered in secret by all State Parties. In her address Mrs McAleese indicated that the state focus is to be the ‘Home’ and not the Family. The independence of her office must preclude her from such insider knowledge. Mrs McAleese who holds the esteemed presidential office by having the same all party support to negate the peoples vote on that office, reiterated her belief in heart wrenching fashion with many intimations that she had personal knowledge through past experience of horrendous atrocities through which she declared that the family was the source of massive abuse |

Jump To Comment: 1 2Fabulous stuff! If President MacAleese has stirred up the self-appointed protectors of The Married Family then there will be a right old rumpus and this stupidity will get bogged down in such nit-picking, hair-splitting vitriol that the bill will go nowhere very slowly.
Children have rights. What is missing is the protection of those rights - rights are pointless words on dusty bookshelves without resourcing and support, something the government doesn't wish to legislate itself into providing.
Although I would not agree with your angle or your choice of words, it is heart-warming to see that at least one of the readers has the courage to concur that Mrs McAleese has acted in what seems to be a most dishonourable way. Now all we have to do is to rouse our other fellow Citizens to the magnitude of such offensive behaviour.
The Irish people’s Right to an unhampered Constitution is necessarily obnoxious to the Irish State and the government's will. After all, a citizen’s petition for redress in matters such as this is a complaint that government violated rights and a demand that it stop, and to compensate the complainant(s) for damages by at least removing the offender from office. This would of course be all the more treacherous if the rogue were the holder of any vital office.
It should not surprise anyone that government does not want the people to defend their Constitution effectively. Be that as it may, in Ireland it has always been the way of those who usurp the trust bestowed on them circumvent the people with deceit and two-faced arrogance.
Article 6 of Bunreacht na hÉireann is a powerful fortification against such a threat and the only way through such a formidable protection is the renowned ‘weasel way’ where someone disarms those who trusts them and then leaves them to the wolves.
THE IRISH CONSTITUTION
Article 6
1. All powers of government, legislative, executive and judicial, derive, under God, from the people, whose right it is to designate the rulers of the State and, in final appeal, to decide all questions of national policy, according to the requirements of the common good.
In Ireland, a person who petitions government over grievances of constitutional rights violations that government does not want to hear, can go to prison for fabricated crimes like obstruction of justice, any concoction to their pleasure, or even making "false claims" when the wrong committed is a blatant as this, but that must not deter us. Our forefathers fought and died for such injustice and at the end of the day the Irish will not be found wanting.
