Government without consensus a challenge

IT IS true that in 2003 Irish people realised their democratic process was derailed?

Their constitutionally-protected right to be the final decision makers was not honoured by government when the M3 was driven through Tara against the will of an overwhelming majority of Irish people.

The current chaos and division where Irish people simply do not relate to their government comes from this and other examples of blatant disregard of democratic sentiment.
