Petition addressed to: An Taoiseach, all members of the Oireachtas

We want all Emergency Powers to end.
We ask citizens to contact their TDs to lobby for a NO vote.  Emergency Powers are due to expire on 31st March, unless TDs vote to renew them.
The Emergency Powers allows a Minister to:

  • Set aside provisions of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU and of our own Constitution - without any public discussion or vote.
  • Restrict our right to Work, Travel and Associate.
  • Segregate and divide us based on Health Status.
  • Force us carry a Digital Certificate (ID card) in order to gain access to services, including sports, restaurants and bars.
  • Dictate, by coercion, what medicines are put into our body, or that we wear face-coverings without any proven benefit.
  • Delay medical treatments for things like Cancer and Heart Disease, in favour of a single illness which is far less dangerous.

We want respect for our fundamental Human and Civil Rights, they cannot be given and taken away at the whim of any Government.
We demand respect for the right to Informed Consent and Bodily Integrity.
Where there is Risk, there must be Choice!

Reason

If we are concerned to live in a society which respects fundamental Human Rights then the ending of Emergency Powers is vital.
When rights can be given and taken-away, by simple decision of a Minister, then they are no longer rights, they are Privileges, handed out when it suites the powers-that-be.
Is it OK that we now scrap the Universal Declaration on Human Rights?
Does Government and the Rule of Law now require ABSOLUTE trust from us?
Has Government ALWAYS served the interests of the people?
Is the influence of Giant Corporations and Bankers no longer a factor?
Our rights must be respected, without precondition.
