    No, he didn't. Where in the world did you get that mad idea?

    The thoughts of him being aborted may have changed my views on the issue. Alas too late now.

    Ill just have a look but I think the last census showed that 250,000 people declared "no religion", that along with those of religion who don't care about the issue one way or another would not necessarily indicate it being a minority view.

    Trust me, that will happen if these nutjobs labour ever have their way!

    Sikhs can bring the kirpan into schools (Knives)

    Muslims can wear headresses

    Jews can wear Yalmuches

    Hindus can have the red dot on their foreheads

    Christians however get suspended if they wear Crosses or any religious symbols when they refuse to take them off.

    This happens all the time in the UK

    In a proper republic education should be secular

    We are not the UK. In the UK they have to play up to the minority races because they have spent years persecuting them and the minorities hate them.

    In Ireland we should just treat everybody equal and allow all to practice their faith or their none faith. I have attended a UK uni where there were Muslim girls who wore the full clothing (I cannot remember the name) whereby you could only see their eyes and their hands. There is no problem with it.

    Also, Labour Youth policy is not Labour Party policy.

    I'm sorry, but haven't you noticed that currently the Irish Government is copying the same mistakes that Britain has made in regards to keeping everyone happy?................... which is impossible

    I grew up in Britain from nursery age until after graduation from university.................... so with respect I have a little more insight into what we have coming if we don't act

    i ticked roman catholic because I was baptised, but I don't consider myself one. I'm sure a lot of people did the same.
