A priest on Liveline talking about the right for prisoners to vote. Made this point that in Northern Ireland majority ruled and the nationalists had no voice. The same thing should be done in this country. But with the 20% of people being poor or at risk of poverty and 80% not the poor’s view will never be heard. They should have a sort of veto. Where there views would have to be taken into account. By I presuming the Dail being reformed somewhat similar to the Northern assembly so that the poor always have power in government. Good idea or anti-democratic clap trap.
It was Father Peter McVerry, for the record.
why not give the top 20% rich people a veto too, after all they’re in a minority?
I think the relatively poor get more attention and support than the actually poor in proportion to their respective numbers. Like that lady on Primetime talking about not being able to get trainers for less than €50.
