No politician or government official should have the power to investigate the citizens of a hamlet, town, city of its country. And what Party or Politician is going to prosecute, let alone help send any of the banks' CEOs before a judge? Criminal acts perpetrated on the Irish Public should be investigated by the Police.
The Justice Department should have a special unit set up to investigate Government, Bank and Corporate Crime, with no exceptions made for Billionaire Bankers, Greedy Business People, Corrupt Politicians and Government Officials, and all of the Evil Land Developers. (Land Developers are behind all of the "Recessions" happening around the world, so too are the Corporations whose Greed cared only about the short term gain: Profit; both caused most of the world's problems in the first place!) And who among them was ever fined?

I am reminded of Thatcher introducing an anti terrorism bill (and passed) to protect the British public.The act was first used as a strikebreaker and the first people arrested under the act were striking coalminers and union leaders.Be careful of the powers you give politicians they might come back and bite you in the bum.

Hooray for the Irish voters! Liberty is always eroded by folks saying, "it's just to protect you" and "it's for your own good." Old Ben Franklin said it best, "Those who would give up liberty for safety deserve neither."

There was weeks wasted talking about the President. No time used to explain to people about the referendum which was more important for the people.

As so called politicians have falsified the rule books of Ireland Ireland does not have a valid democracy..............Its very hard to understand how many so called educated people employed in Ireland can justify falsifying the rule books..............Ireland has a police force that does not know the rule books have been falsified..............Ireland is screwed in ways we cannot even understand.
