Did you know that if you love GAA, and have a family business, and play Irish music, and holiday in Ireland, might be critical of RTÉ, and support Irish filmmaking – and maybe keep hens, and think potatoes are tasty – you are Family A in a SPHE handbook being used in Irish schools since 2023? And it’s very obvious that Family A are not just inferior to diverse families, but they are probably bigoted, insular, and small-minded too.
The chapter in the SPHE book – ironically entitled “All different, All equal” – was brought to the attention of Carol Nolan TD this week by a furious parent who said her 12-year old son had come home with it from school, having started first year this week.
At first glance, it’s actually laughable, being so wildly clichéd and asinine as to almost be beyond offensive, and, in fact, many people sharing it online yesterday thought it was a parody. But actually, there’s nothing funny about it.
Two families are compared in this exercise. If you are more like Family A, you are not diverse, and that is your terrible failing – because failure to achieve that holy grail essential for modern virtue-signalling means that, despite the supposed emphasis on equality, you are definitely and absolutely a lesser family, and you can be subjected to lazy, offensive, stereotyping – not just online or in the media – but in the classroom.
You are narrow-minded, gastronomically illiterate, hicks. You hate people who don’t share the same religion, and even your cattle look slightly stupid probably because they are a reflection on their owners.
You eat bacon and cabbage every SINGLE day because you hate variety and are therefore deprived of good taste or even taste buds or shops or something, or because you are too dim-witted to discover other meats – even though you keep hens – not to mind pasta, and really exotic stuff like spinach, or maybe frozen veg.
You like the Fleadh Cheoil and attend every year, which obviously means you hate all other music, not because – in common with vast swathes of the country – you love your ancient, beautiful culture, but because you are afraid of diversity. You are not inclusive or open-minded enough to see that anything and everything is preferable to what is uniquely Irish. But you are also a control freak, so you won’t let your kids listen to anything else or watch Hollywood movies.
If your children are unfortunate enough to be in the classroom when this passive-aggressive bullshit is being read aloud (as ordered by this absurd, pathetic, vile schoolbook) they have to close their eyes and listen while Family A is being described, presumably with the right mixture of condescension and contempt, by their teacher. They have to “close their eyes and imagine what it would be like to live in this family”, with the obvious subtext of “imagine the horror”.
Most people reading the page from the SPHE handbook yesterday couldn’t believe this garbage could be real, and is actually included in a schoolbook that they’ve paid for. Your taxes also pay for it to be read aloud in the classroom that you’ve entrusted your kids too – so that your kids, who maybe like GAA and maybe play trad, and God forbid, maybe speak Irish too – are being sneered at while the entire classroom can join in a critique of how awful your family is.
Now, obviously Family A don’t really fully exist, because there almost isn’t a person in Ireland (the country with brutal emigration rates due to ferocious colonialism and indifferent governance) who doesn’t have relatives abroad, or who doesn’t eat pizza, or who wouldn’t enjoy seeing a bit of the world, but, of course, not every item in this sneering description needs to apply. If “all your family members are Irish”, and maybe you like Irish dancing and pay hurling, this gist is that this is your family, because this is how labels and stereotypes and caricatures are applied, something you’d think the authors of a SPHE handbook would know. Maybe they do, and they wrote this garbage anyway.
Look at the words being used, by the way, and imagine your child in the classroom being made to feel that because they are proud of their Irish heritage, and because their parents committed the cardinal sin of marrying another Irish person, their family is being lampooned in this exercise. “No foreign games are permitted.” “We get told off if we mix with people with a different religion”. “Our parents complain” ete etc. Nasty, small-minded bigoted parents, who won’t let daughter do yoga or son play drums because they hate foreign things, and by implication foreign people too.
Also imagine, if you will, what the reaction would be if this was written about an Indian family. “They eat curry every day. They only like other Indians. They won’t let us talk to Catholics. They only let us watch Bollywood. We can only play the sitar.” There’d be an immediate uproar, and a Late Late national examination of conscience, followed by Fintan O’Toole articles about how we needed to atone for our wrongdoings by wearing S&M gear and ashes and taking out a subscription to the Irish Times.
The exercise continues in the SPHE handbook as the kids are asked the following questions, because its a good and healthy thing now apparently to ask the whole class to critique someone’s family:
Then we come to Family B, who are obviously preferable in every way, because they are diverse, and therefore marvellous. Not for them the stone-age mindset of favouring GAA or learning slow airs. Look, they have smartphones and pizzas and funky square glasses are obviously super-mad-craic and lovely and gorgeous and kind and open-minded and we haven’t a bad word to say about them.
They “love change and difference” and support their kids in whatever life-path they choose, unlike rotten Family A who are forcing their poor children to slave away in the mouldy old family business – but hey, why would the families who take great pride in being the second or third or fourth generation to be productive members of society passing on an essential trade and providing employment, be offended? (Irish people aren’t allowed to be offended anyway, we’re too far down the misery and exploitation hierarchy despite 800 years of living under the lash of arid censure, to quote Donagh McDonagh). I suppose the bad parents of Family A might be deterring their offspring from being influencers or something really, really important.
Did you spot, by the way, the bland racial stereotyping in “we like … Asian food”. What’s that now? Malaysian? Thai? Indonesian? Or just anything with rice? Now, like most people, I generally think, good luck to Family B if all that diversity floats their boat. But that’s not what’s really being conveyed here. There’s the non-too-subtle inclusion of the indications of kindness and community spirit (volunteering, fund-raising, helping others) in Family B’s description that are so obviously missing from nasty, small-minded, insular Irish Family A.
We Irish are so awful, of course. Despite being the most generous people in the world, we’re obviously too busy being controlling and intolerant to do anything civic-minded – and we hate skiing and art and meeting people, and experiencing cultures, and having a good time. This bilge was signed off as acceptable for inclusion as an exercise in a schoolbook, which, regardless of the author’s intent, presents Irish culture using the kind of drivel you might have expected in a 1880’s edition of Punch.
Don’t even get me started on the glaringly obvious denigration of one’s own traditions in preference of what exactly: mass-produced dirges produced by global corporations fleecing indulgent parents dry? Down with the Fleadh, hon Taylor Swift squeezing the last penny from you – though lots of families, of course, like both ‘We Are Never, Ever’ and The Concertina Reel equally, and good luck to them too because this division exists mostly only the minds of the writers of this kind of idiotic nonsense anyway.
(The authors are Anne Potts and Nodlaig O’Grady, by the way, and the publisher is Edco. Maybe they were trying to be funny, or it was all tongue-in-cheek, though SPHE is usually a pretty humourless subject.)
But this absurd, insidious classroom exercise actually gets worse. The kids are then told, after discussing the advantages and disadvantages of Family B (though there are obviously no disadvantages in the description) that they must decide which family is more inclusive? Gosh, one wonders what answer the kids have been primed to give?
And then we come to the most egregious part of the exercise: “After your class share their answers to the first three questions decide which family you would choose to belong to”.
We’re rating families in the classroom now? Under the pretence of respecting diversity? This is an actually a disgusting exercise in bullying of schoolchildren whose families like being Irish, are proud of being Irish, and who therefore could find themselves targeted in school – an outcome that should be completely and absolutely unacceptable to any parent. Again, imagine if the classroom exercise compared a black family to another family and then asked the kids what family they would choose to belong to? There would be government-funded NGOs rioting on the streets.
The message throughout this exercise, in my opinion, isn’t that we should respect other cultures – it’s that other cultures are superior. Diversity is superior. And we are going to beat that into your kids, not with a strap, but by an assault on their identity and their family life and their sense of pride. Health and wellbeing studies, my arse. (Yes, I don’t usually sink to vulgarities but in this instance, I’ll make an exception.) This whole exercise is flagged as being about inclusion, but instead one family – the Irish family – are presented as controlling bigots.
Of course, the real question is why do the people who are targeted in this hateful, divisive sneering put up with this assault on our culture. The GAA should be up in arms. So should people who make Irish films, and traditional musicians. Grow a spine and stop taking pernicious crap off these morons who are trying to paint you as extremists because you love your own culture and your own sports and, God forbid, might find potatoes in all or any of their iterations tasty. Seriously though, what kind of a debased servile country we have become if we accept this degradation of our own people in our classrooms. As you’d expect, the book goes on, in subsequent chapters, to introduce the usual nonsense about Gingerbread persons, and kids being assigned genders and other scientific rubbish.
Carol Nolan this week said “How this trash and drivel ever made its way into a curriculum text book is almost beyond me. There is a level of contemptuous loathing and underlying aggression to it that is simply jaw-dropping. This farcical nonsense should be removed from every classroom and filed under the ‘where bad ideas go to die’ section of any library that will take it. There are far more appropriate ways to discuss how families choose to nurture their children’s cultural identity that do not involve this cheap and sneering effort”.
She is completely correct. This joke of a schoolbook, in my opinion, should be confined to the bin. And I’d rather be some version of Family A, than seek favour from a shower of morons who don’t even know what a woman is, and wouldn’t know real respect and diversity if it bit them on the posterior.
Anyway, they can go to hell. I’m off to teach a seannós class for kids on zoom, and then I might watch a hurling match, and make a curry for dinner. We’ll decide our own diversity without the lazy, vicious, anti-Irish stereotyping.

The “compassionate” left are a disgusting bunch of sneering elitist snobs. They absolutely enrage and disgust me.
Make that the “condescending left” more accurate.
Political indoctrination, pure and simple.
Do schools have a choice on SPHE workbooks. This crap should be binned, if only for the racist undertones directed at the family A.
👍👍
I note it is published by EdCo.
60 years ago its then manifestation, the Educational Company, was making money selling straps to Irish schools for the purpose of administering daily beatings to working-class Irish boys.
The abuse continues, in a different guise.
Yes, I remember and felt the straps in my secondary school days. It was brutal and had lasting effects on some boys but I think the psychological abuse outlined above is even worse.
I took a fuck em attitude look them in the eye don’t flinch never ever cry. It spoiled their fun
There were many sadists in secondary schools for sure in the bad old days.
Disgusting anti- Irish indoctrination of little children. The liberal left elites have only hatred for Ireland, the Irish people and our culture. Total resistance to their ideology and agenda is the key to the survival of our country and culture. Erin go Bráth.
Why stop at two families?
I volunteer to write the blurb for Family C, the Nigerian family.
Seriously, this whole matter deserves investigation. The book had to be commissioned and an artist hired. What ‘artist’ produced the pics above, and what were his/her instructions? There was probably a book proposal, which was signed off by someone. In other words far more people than Potts and O’Grady were involved.
And what is the link between this and the Council of Europe, which was pushing this stuff years ago?
I hope Deputy Nolan investigates this matter further.
A while back David Quinn wrote that the Dept of Education no longer had a goal for Irish education of developing a sense of Irishness in children.
Quinn’s claim received little discussion, and maybe that says it all.
I see the fetid hands of the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment in this.
They will have signed off on the nonsense text.
This rather little-known body controls Irish education below third level. It is responsible for much that is vile and contemptible in Irish education.
I had dealings with this outfit in an earlier life, and came to despise it.
Parents with children in school–
Can you name the Chair of the NCCA?
Its CEO?
Any of the members of the Board?
You are being screwed just as American parents found themselves screwed by ‘education’ boards.
But the American parents in many states rebelled…..
Will the Irish remain quiescent?
I had dealings with the NCCA many years ago when they were promoting misandry through a programme called Exploring Masculinities. The theme running through that programme was that men are the flawed half of the human race and, in the words of a so-called men’s group (based in Waterford), had to be ‘deconstructed and reconstructed’ to cleanse them of their toxic masculinity. Now they are demonising all Irish people for playing Irish music, gaa games and eating spuds.
Teachers should refuse to indoctrinate our children.
They should have stood up for their students during the covid debacle but didn’t so I wouldn’t hold your breath.
They hanged Julius Streicher after the war . He was convicted at the first Nuremberg trial . He was found guilty even though he had been placed under house arrest for the duration of the war by the Nazi Regime . You couldn’t feel sentimental about him , he was a revolting individual. But what was the crime for which he was hanged ? He was the publisher of Der Sturmer , a magazine that was virulently anti semitic and promoted hateful stereotyping of German Jews .
So back in 1946 it was considered a capital offence to demonise and negatively stereotype a race of people , and in fact few tears were shed for him.
There is no difference between the way Julius Streicher used Der Sturmer to demonise and debase German Jews and the way this SPHE book demonises and debases their stereotype of the traditional Irish Family .
The publishers of this book are every bit as revolting and disgusting as Julius Streicher was .
They are as guilty as he was of the crime for which he was convicted.
And if they object to that assessment then what they are saying is that it is ok to do this to Irish people but not to anybody else.
Absolutely disgusting, I’ve a couple of girls in an Irish secondary school. I’ve never felt the need before but going to have a look to see if this nonsense is in their books too.
What kind of life situations are such bone-headed caricatures meant to prepare children for?
True story: I once knew a Korean brother and sister who went travelling together through Italy, Switzerland and Paris for two weeks. Two young people, far from home, seeing the world, speaking English … All very Family B! BUT … My two friends didn’t care much for “European food”, so they prepared their own and brought it with them. Seriously: they left Dublin with a suitcase full of Korean dishes in tupperware boxes, which they feasted on during their travels. In Paris, they stayed in a Korean hostel, specially set up for Koreans who want to enjoy that city without having to share their living quarters with Westerners, with their boorish manners, questionable hygiene and vile food.
So – were that pair open to the world, or not? The answer, of course, is that like all of us, they were a mix. People are complicated – a fact that that textbook rather fails at explaining.
But I suspect that the real goal of that lesson is not to explain anything. Rather, it’s to plant a little seed if disdain in kids’ heads; a disdain for any express preference people might have for Irish things. “Irish musical instruments? Ugh, just like that horrible bigoted family we read about at school, the low-status family no one in the class wanted to belong to. No thanks!”
Since most of the Left have seriously broken families ,w ith with problems one can hardly imagine ,
they are profoundly jealous of Irish family supports which continue , while they have nothing but pretend
marriages , children made by strangers , no historical music , traditional stories .
Many of them are looking into the Void ,believing in nothing but modern science to bolster their terror
of death with no hope .
You did how ever fall into the trap of believing that 800 years ago, if it did’nt happen, would made Ireland
so much better a place, and a more successful country .I don’t believe that, and until this false history, and
what it represents is truly confronted and laid to rest Ireland will not recover from where she is now .
This cuts real deep. Family A apart from the ridiculous bigoted views attributed to them could very much represent my wife’s family. To smear traditional Irish families as bigots and package that idea to children is abhorrent. The writer and publishers of this hibernophobic brainwashing targeted at children should be named and held accountable.
So the Irish state is using Irish taxpayer funds to indoctrinate their children that Irish culture is inferior. McGurk if this is not treasonous please tell me what is.
Those responsible will continue to prod and push and goad until it gets nasty,
Heaven forbid a teacher were to have forty shades of shite kicked out of him or her for delivering that assault on us as a people,
But of course there is nothing new in this world so given that the elites have decided that we are to be a global village then of course our roots have to be destroyed,
Buckle up folks.
Right, so many questions I have since I read this this morning.
I was astonished. It seemed like high-class satire because
a) it showed how pervasive & ingrained progressive ideology is
b) it showed how totally retarded progressive ideology is.
But then I thought again. So if this is to be discussed in the classroom, & anti-Nativist remarks are encouraged by the students, does that not mean that the native race in this case, are allowed to be insulted? What if one of the native race responds to the insults & things get heated. Does the native child then stand to be punished by the school?
What if non-native children, with parents from Poland or Pakistan actually say, well, my parents are of homogenous origin (in so much that you can expect an early adolescent to put it)… is the teacher supposed to say, ‘well, no, this only applies to Irish families’ (appeasing both the Pole & the Pakistani), or what the really desired response would be is ‘well actually, this applies only to the white children of privilege. You coloured people are an exception.’ + patronising pat on the head.
Lastly is this even legal? Can this not be legally fought? Can it not be brought up in the Dail?
Nothing short of an obscenity.
👍👍
I bet Potts and O’Grady would sneer at an American St Patrick’s Day Greeting Card that looked like that.
I actually like the pic, but I realize that it is the work of anti-Irish haters in this case.
Suggested answers for this
1. Name any advantages you can think of about being part of Family A.
.
None, because it is so obviously farcically and deliberately designed to be as absurd and unrealistic as possible, it is such a blatant piss take, no rational person could take it seriously.
.
2. Name any disadvantages you can think of about being part of Family A.
.
None, because it is so obviously farcically and deliberately designed to be as absurd and unrealistic as possible, it is such a blatant piss take, no rational person could take it seriously.
1. Name any advantages you can think of about being part of Family B.
.
None, because it is so obviously farcically and deliberately designed to be an extreme contrast to the absurd depiction of Family A, it is such a blatant piss take, no rational person could take it seriously.

.

.
3. Which family is more inclusive? Do you think this is a good or bad thing for the family?
.
Define inclusive. Each family is restricted to Father, Mother and children. To that extent, they are both exclusive. This is a good thing because it is good to have stability and parents of each sex in the home and family. So far as that goes, therefore they are both equally inclusive/exclusive.
.
4. After your class share their answers to the first three questions decide which family you would choose to belong to? What are your reasons for this?
.
Neither. I like my own family.
NB. Ironically, including the mixed race bit, there are quite a few real Irish families that tick many of the boxes in the description of Family Bs. Mine is one of them.
These so called liberals who push all this progressive BS share all the vilest traits of humanity and they are all part of the death cult.
Another building block in teaching our native kids “to forget our backward notion of sovereignty”
This kind of thing will be going on in every country in Europe , already it has taken hold in France for
example, where normally the Olympics would have been mainly a chance to demonstrate the best of
the countries history and culture ,mostly it was world wide woke silyl trash . All just distorted bad taste .
France is a sewerpit now. Their colonies have come to haunt them. Ireland never colonized any country.
But at a deeper level, what is the learning outcome here? How to judge other people’s families? How to hate your own family? Neither is very productive
They are, essentially, relying on lazy racial and cultural stereotypes to teach us that “multiculturalism” is good. I am happy to rely on the inate intelligence of our 12 year olds to see that for the logical fallacy it is.
No Pig in the Pic?
Why not?
The ate him with the cabbage.
very very funny !!
“…but Daddy says I have to wear a Hajib and Mammy can’t show her face in public, ever, or we will be severely punished, and he will carry this out in accordance with Quran ….” This is horrendous horseshit. The moment my kids come home with anything like this, I’ll be in the face of the principal of the school the next day. We need to tackle this head on, fearlessly, all of us. This has, I presume, being cleared by Norma F..king Foley, (Eddie Murphy’s wife in Beverly Hills Cop) and that’s astonishingly worrying.
Theres a coalition of nationalists parties announced. That they will work together on GE to all gain seats. Hope we can get some power back. That there’s enough that agree on fixing issues like this. Though i fear they will be just as destructive in the other direction
I never heard of th SPHE. I just googled it. Up came:
“Social, personal and health education (SPHE) provides particular opportunities to foster the personal development, health and wellbeing of the child and to help him/her create and maintain supportive relationships and become an active and responsible citizen in society.”
In the name of Jesus.! Is Roderick O Gorman and Varadker and Chambers behind this or what ?
A good and decent man is facing jail again for denying ” Transgenderism”.
I have nothing against Homosexuals either, but I wish they would not celebrate their unhappy deviancy in front of the whole world, even if it is no longer a crime. All this stuff is not welcome in our lives. If a man lies with a man we would rather he kept it to himself and it was not celebrated in the newspapers as a special “coming out” event.;
Our children’s classrooms have to be cleansed of all this drivel.
I saw a picture of Roderick O’Gorman in the newspapers, kissing his ” husband” on the lips, after he was elected to Dail Eireann.I find this, “openness” frankly, disgusting.
I
John Joseph we need more of your candid opnions . They are after the children and
they are so sure you will do nothing they say it up front .
Depressing brainwashing.
By the way, when did young pupils morph into students?
About the same time Ma’a and Ma’am morphed into Mum and Mom?
Two Scottish girls were recorded questioning a teacher about gender ideology during an SPHE lesson, and refuting what they were being taught.
I think the lesson/coversation was recorded on …….a smartphone.
Jonathan Swift’s epitaph on his tomb in St Patrick’s mentions the Dean’s ‘Sæva Indignatio’, his savage indignation in the face of the wrongs of the world.
I thought of that while reading Niamh’s piece.
Her wrath come thru every sentence, as it should.
Striking how garbage writing can spur great writing.
Sounds like Niamh is as mad as hell…

Very insulated by this crap as I would be family A and fecking proud of been Irish
Je suis Family A
If I can, I will have a t shirt printed
My jaw sank further and further to the floor as I read this.
Even though I am a regular Gript reader I am shocked by this.
But PS I love the Drawing . It has charm and history and make me smile .
I think this must have come from the USA. Written by someone who left Ireland in 1960 perhaps. Family B call their mother ‘MOM’ – a dead giveaway!
Another point – let’s pretend you’re a Ukranian child or a Nigerian child in a classroom of native Irish – are you going to think that their mothers and fathers dislike you because you’re foreign?
I call this Race Baiting.
What should it have been?
Mum?
That’s just as alien.
Barnwell is an Irish name ?

Bacon ,cabbage and potatoes is the most underated dish of all.I like my white sauce with onion and parsley ” a perfectly balanced dish” ,a nice bit of salt and pepper.If one decides to make the white sauce without the onion and parsley,they can thicken the sauce and pour it over a nice batch bread ham and cheese sandwich and stick it under the grill.If you wish to be a little more diverse,add mustard.In doing so you have made yourself a croque Monsieur .
Potato bread with butter and salt
Chip Butty
Egg and chips
Fish and chips
Gratin
Roast potato
Mash potato
Boiled potato.
Hasselback potato
Tartiflette
Dont attack the potato,Michael flattely,the fiddle,Pints of guinness,trad music and Most people on this island.
For a replacement to cabbage i would recommend a humble turnip.
Delicious .When the weather gets colder my winter menu has been decided .
😅😅 wonderful
Sirs
the the vile portrayal of the Irish family being forced on our children with relish by a pagan woke government is merely the expression of contempt of a woke treacherous regime imposing its will without consultation of parents or wide society . Now so confortabele in its position as chief anti irish racial discrimination agent of hatred and contempt for our culture. Their rabid determination to destroy our society and replace it with the Orwellian version of the new ireland as they see it . It is patiently clear for any one to see within the echo chamber of the uni party treasonous dail . They answer to no one now ,as their is no opposition . Their evil advisors have laid out the plan with every detail covered ., as follows ,there will be a bribery give away budget to keep the useful idiots of voters sated with their own money , There will then call a snap election as they prepare to maintain their death grip on the irish people why wouldn’t they we have no opposition .Fg and Ff are now the same and see the opportunity to rule in peputinity the so called opposition and independents are happy to feign dissent and take the cash and shut to hell up. As in the imposed immigration vote last month they will ruthlessly use the whip to maintain their agenda . Unfortunately the patriotic opposition such as the Irish freedom party etc have morphed into mere self interisted ego driven rabble unable to unite as a credible force under one umbrella grouping to give the people some hope . Credible people such as Una Mcguirk and Michael Mcdonnell probably understandably have no way to fight against the ego of leaders of patriotic resistance who seem hapless to make a united stand . I fear we have as in the Uk a ruling clique so detached from the voters and a dail that will go down in history as the traitors who controlled by ngo wef and brussels and may i add the devil destroyed our beautiful country and society ..Be prepared for a tsunami of undocumented criminals of mostly extreme muslims already planting their flags throughout our country to take their prize sharia ireland from the idiot traitor political establishment who have sold out their religion identity and culture for 20 pieces of Eu silver . Our only hope are our people will they be able to muster the strength to fight the imported barbarians currently encamped throughout the country . By the time the fools in power realise their mistake our megere army of 6000 will be outnumbered 20 to 1 by the invaders .God save Ireland said the heroes ,who will rise from the people our Dail is rotten and a full of traitors .
Peter Monahan
The Green party’s fingerprints are all over this dreadful crap.
No mention in the msm during this morning waffle sessions.
Though Kelly from Newstalk would have an opinion.
No use in complaining ,there is plenty to do, if people are serious .
First of all, much of the culture which is being ridiculed is protected under UNSCOs
INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE,, and what is not strictly Intangible, is part of a Unique
culture from a certain part of the World .
The best way to protect it, is to put it to the people , to educate them on their Rights to
not only protect it but to recieve money from the Irish government plus the U.N.
,
Also to use the information available, to prosecute those involved in this jealous attack on
the original Irish people .
If they don’t want to participate that is their right but to try to destroy a culture and involve
the demeaning of a children and their families is I am sure something which must not be
allowed to pass .
I think this might be good idea to put to the people in the streets of Galway etc !!!!
In the wake of an alleged stabbing attack by a Syrian migrant that left three people dead, the federal government’s migration policy is at the top of the political agenda at a time when the ruling coalition is under immense pressure and is expected to lose two upcoming state elections by large margins.
If such a change is not possible in the short term, the opposition leader demanded “to declare a national emergency with regard to refugees” to enforce the regulation, as national law could then trump EU legislation.
This is interesting. Could Ireland do the same, or would we also have to leave the UN international human rights refugees protocol which some in England are advocating.
