One arguement disproven.

Read more about: Vote Saturday

One of the reason’s the government gave against Saturday voting was that it would interfere with people’s religious devotion.  So what do they do instead of interfering with religious devotion? They put it on the Jewish festival of Shavuot.  For the second time according to Fine Gael. So that means that the religion part of their argument was bogus. Which leaves Sporting events. (which there is no inter county GAA on May 26th by the way) and people going on holidays.  1309 people signed out petition for Saturday Voting.

    Bertie Ahern hates Jewish people.

    Could this be considered a breach of constitution article 44.2.3, which states “The State shall not impose any disabilities or make any discrimination on the ground of religious profession, belief or status.”?

    Then again, 44.2.2 states “The State guarantees not to endow any religion.” and they certainly overlooked that one over the years.
