The data is public, available from the Irish government at https://www.gov.ie/en/consultation/c3d5e9-hate-speech-public-consultation/ https://www.gov.ie/en/consultation/c3d5e9-hate-speech-public... I don't know their methodology, but you can double check their results yourself. If 3600 responses is too much to go through, you can do a random sampling of a smaller set. I've looked at the first 10 submissions from individuals. 8 of them are opposed to the law, 1 is unintelligible, and one thinks the law, as proposed, doesn't go far enough. Alternately, you can try to find reports on this consultation from some media that you trust. Though you may find they are all silent on it. Edit: In fact, when interviewed, even Ireland's prime minister Leo Varadkar didn't dispute Gript's characterization of the consultation results (he merely claimed that the results aren't representative of Irish opinion, for which he offered no evidence, and certainly didn't conduct a referendum to definitively answer the question), as the video in that thread shows: https://twitter.com/griptmedia/status/1654113707004239872 https://twitter.com/griptmedia/status/1654113707004239872
