FOR or once I find myself in total agreement with Justice Minister Michael McDowell.

Chen ruling highlights real referendum issue

Reacting to the launch of Lawyers Against the Amendment he says he fears “we are going to have a rash of lawyers against the amendment, doctors against the amendment and other ad hoc attempts to give mouth-to-mouth breath of life to a cause which has atrophied and crumbled in the hands of Politicians Against the Amendment who have fled the field in the aftermath of the Chen case.”

The so-called media launches of these unelected and unrepresentative groups are great for getting column inches for those opposed to this referendum, but I reckon the public are well aware of this tactic following the ‘no to Nice’ fiasco.
