The fate of this country is in the lap of the gods now

THIS column might never reach your eyes. Ireland will surely have fallen off its axis, now that the X case legislation has passed the Dáil.

Hordes of lying women will be laying siege to the clinics of gullible psychiatrists, “demanding” terminations on the grounds of bogus suicidal intent, as the nation descends into moral chaos.

On the plus side, the airports will be strangely quiet, as women who have a crisis pregnancy no longer have to make that lonely journey abroad. But, in reality, nothing much will have changed, except that this Dáil, and this Government, has gotten themselves hated just that little bit more, by the way they have conducted themselves in recent days.
