A
Referendum on our Government (Executive, Legislative, and
Judicial) might be better?

I'm not
sure there is a need for a referendum regarding the
long-standing and ongoing "military" situation at Shannon
Airport?
Allowing for Article 29 of Bunreacht na
hEireann (the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland, which
literally translated actually means the "basic law" of the
Republic of Ireland), it might be FAR, FAR more appropriate
for our electorate to ask our "elected representatives", and
MUCH more so our UNELECTED judiciary, why they now appear to
all have abandoned our hard-won Constitution? -- which, over a
period of some 8 centuries or so (say 32 generations or
thereabouts), was "paid for" by our forebears in terms that
could realistically be described as "rivers and lakes of
blood", and "mountains of abuse, misery and
suffering".
Now, many of "them" still can't wait to
give it (our Constitution) all away? - even after the almighty
"slap in the mouth" they have been given by the electorate
regarding the Lisbon Treaty - which, compared to Bunreacht na
hEireann, and by ANY healthy standards, is just an
incomprehensible pile of verbal rubbish, which is very
deliberately and very cleverly designed to slyly enable
despots and plutocrats of all kinds to do whatever they wish,
particularly in regard to human rights law (as set out by the
United Nations).
Who in their right minds (apart from
the "wolves in sheep's clothing" corrupt beneficiaries) would
want to swop the Lisbon Treaty for Bunreacht na
hEireann?
Among several other things, and for those who
may not already know, Article 29 of Bunreacht na hEireann
contains the following statements:
1) "Ireland affirms
its devotion to the ideal of peace and friendly co-operation
amongst nations founded on international justice and
morality."
2) "Ireland affirms its adherence to the
principle of the pacific settlement of international disputes
by international arbitration or judicial determination.
"
3) "Ireland accepts the generally recognised
principles of international law as its rule of conduct in its
relations with other States."
So where are the eyes of
our government -- Executive, Legislative, and Judicial --
regarding these extremely important Constitutional
issues?
Why are "they" not upholding our Constitution?
-- that (in my view) is the most pressing question that we
(i.e. the Republic of Ireland electorate) need to get truthful
and meaningful answers to from our so called "public servants"
at the present time, and we need them "sooner rather than
later".
