  17. Google is failing me. The Seanad election requires a declaration of identity signed in the presence of a witness. But nowhere does it say who is acceptable as a witness. Is there an official source ?

    assets.gov.ie/130328/7319b9fa-
    is silent on that point.

  19. As someone pointed out elsewhere, this claim by the government that there was "a lack of consensus" about the hate speech elements of this Bill is baseless, since it had already passed through the Dáil.

    Also: "'There wasn’t consensus' is such a cop out - a blatant capitulation to racists and the more genteel types (including in the Seanad) that just do the 'how many genders' transphobia"

    Exactly.
