Open Letter to the minister of Justice of Ireland

As an advocate for freedom of speech, I am concerned about the proposed Bill on Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences. The Constitution of Ireland and the European Convention on Human Rights guarantee the right to freedom of expression, which includes the right to express opinions without interference from the government. While there are limitations to this right, such as preventing the publication of blasphemous or indecent material, the proposed Bill goes beyond these limitations and could infringe on the fundamental right to free speech.
