The Irish government is challenging the Troubles Legacy Bill, which would grant amnesty to those involved in the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Journalists, politicians, and public figures have expressed opposition to the bill, citing concerns about human rights and justice. The bill has little support in Northern Ireland, with no victims' group or political party backing it. The UK is facing pressure to quit the European Convention on Human Rights after Ireland's legal threat to veterans of the Troubles. The bill has been criticized as regressive and detrimental to truth and reconciliation efforts, with claims that no one in Ireland supports it.

The Irish government’s hate speech bill is highly regressive and should be opposed. It’s a wolf wrapped in sheep’s clothing.
