1) I am disturbed by the proposed Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred & Hate Offences) Bill 2022. The Bill removes the presumption of innocence for individuals charged under new hate speech laws & presents significant constitutional concern. #Ireland #HateSpeech
2) In law, this is called a ‘reverse evidential burden’. The introduction of a 'reverse evidential burden' in Part 2 S10(3) is particularly troubling & is repugnant to the Irish Constitution. It should be challenged in the courts.
3) The presumption of innocence is a fundamental principle of the Irish legal system, enshrined in both common law and the Constitution. Article 38.1 of the Irish Constitution states that "no person shall be tried on any criminal charge save in due course of law."
1/ A lot of conversation regarding the proposed CRIMINAL JUSTICE (INCITEMENT TO VIOLENCE OR HATRED & HATE OFFENCES) BILL 2022. This is a long thread for anyone interested in what exactly is contained in the Bill. Here is a summary... #HateSpeechBill #HowIrelandWorks
2/ The Bill is 4 parts: Part 1 deals with definitions & the meaning of protected characteristics. Part 2 provides for new offence of incitement to violence or hatred. Part 3 creates new, aggravated forms of certain existing criminal offences. Part 4 deals with amendments.
3/ Part 1 Section 2 – is titled “Interpretation”. It states hatred means “hatred against a person or a group of persons in the State or elsewhere on account of their protected characteristics or any one of those characteristics”, but the bill does not define what hatred is.

This story starts on the 24th of November 2020. I wrote to SIPO and made a complaint that On Thursday 5th December 2109, the Chief Appeals Officer of the
Social Welfare Appeals Office, Ms. Joan Gordon, deliberately lied to the Social Welfare Oireachteas Committee investigating Bogus Self Employment.

In my complaint to SIPO, I attached a letter from the Social Welfare Appeals Office dated January 9th 2019 written just 11 months before the Chief Appeals Officer's denial of test cases to the Oireachtas Social Welfare Committee. This letter categorically states:
