Just when you think a place couldn't get any worse...
Yeah they haven't gone far enough. We should have maoist style struggle sessions for transphobes actually.
Bold of you to assume they had it in the first place.

where are your balls, Ireland? SHOW ME SOME BALLS
Libs of Tiktok, the most credible source!
Here's my take.
Thing is, in Ireland, unlike ching chongistan, people can VOTE! If the bills ends up being as retarded...don't worry, next elections will be given to someone who will add more free speech. If not...well, fuck it, Irish people want less hate speech, let 'em have less hate speech.
Polish people wanted to sell their country to pedophiles from the catholic church, they got it.
With that said, there's also the question of how well will it be enforced. Canada has some woke speech laws, but it doesn't seem like anyone has gone to jail for them.

In the UK they don't even read the laws they pass and Ireland isn't much better.

Politicians that vote for bills that restrict freedom and censor views make me feel discomfort and insecurity. When can we start throwing them in jail?
@Syrup is from Scotland not Ireland.
That's even funnier because confusing the two is supposed to get both made making it harder to distinguish the two. But more so Ireland I think because they hate it when people think they're part of the UK. Or was that Scotland.
To be fair Irish people are naturally angry about everything. It's supposed to mean land of abundance but ire also means angry so angry land also works. Or the land of abundant anger.
