Losing the Seanad and losing our sovereignty

With so many directives/imperatives coming from the EU, troika and self-appointed bureaucrats it’s hard to know what laws and initiatives are coming solely from our own government.

The abolish the Seanad initiative could very well be another step towards the complete federalisation of the EU.

Then our hard-won sovereignty would be gone — along with our right to stay out of worldwide violent conflicts. Our hard-won and much respected Bunreacht na hÉireann would have to play second fiddle to an EU constitution. As TDs of all the parties have been whipped into line, we cannot expect any voices raised against their leaders.
