Irish Citizenship

In Ireland we have a habit of bundling elections together. There is a lot of publicity about the forthcoming European and Local Elections, but almost hidden with the other two elections is a proposed change to the Irish constitution. If passed, it will lead to a fundamental change to the definition of the word "Irish".

In my opinion this will unnecessarily and unfairly exclude people that I believe our society needs, which is why I believe it must be opposed.

I have more to say on the topic, but for now I recommend reading Maura McHugh's excellent article on the subject.
