We’re wrong on national games - Law Reform Commission report

Our unending romance with the heroic is, of course, deeply appealing, but it may not be an accurate reflection of what we do best.
A report just published by the Law Reform Commission (LRC), which considered sentencing information between 2005 and 2015 suggests, one more time, that our national sport is, in fact, making laws, but not bothering to enforce them. We seem the champions of lip-service legislation; of enacting a series of virtual gestures that have no real meaning.
