The aim of this website is to educate Irish men and women on their rights and to have them question their preconceived ideas on their powerlessness in this regard, when in essence it is the people of Éire (Ireland) who truly hold the power. It is not legal or lawful advice.
Maxim of Law:
"He who fails to assert his rights has none".
Your rights are also protected by The European Convention on Human Rights. Click black Button above.
You also have Unalienable Rights which no man, or government can remove without your consent.
Know your rights and be aware of potential legislations that could hinder or even remove them.
If you don't exercise your rights they become redundant. Each man and woman must stand for their rights for democracy to survive.
