    I’m.irish and this is the first I’m hearing about this.

    I’m doubtful such a thing would be a priority for this government since they are very unpopular given the housing crisis and cost of living increase. They will do everything to scrape votes ahead of the next election.

      I’d never heard of it either but apparently it’s already passed through the dáil. Seems like it’s coming. I believe it’s well intentioned and I generally agree with it but my concern is around a future potentially authoritarian government that might abuse it to silence dissent.

      I’m just about to add a top level comment with my digging. Will link it here in a minute.
