Thanks for this, I’ve been looking for a good run thru like this all day. There’s a lot (70 odd tweets) in that linked thread anyone looking for the summation can look here https://twitter.com/drvconway/status/1404425167699382278?s=21 https://twitter.com/drvconway/status/1404425167699382278?s=2...
There is little in the analysis that gives me comfort. FG are the law and order party but paradoxically they have a history of passing poorly conceived laws presumably because they don’t feel the downsides will ever apply to them, and to provide enough legal ambiguity for those well connected to wriggle free. Ambiguity also good for the legal folk that constitute the rank and file of their membership.
They are currently shored up in coalition with another establishment party (FF) and the greens so it’s conceivable that much of this could get through without challenge.
Of course it’s important to remember that it is kite flying season and there is a battle for hearts and minds with the main opposition party (Sinn Féin) so it might just be a matter of whipping up their conservative base.
