[How Stephen Fry case sparked
Ireland's blasphemy referendum
Voters are being asked whether
they want to remove the word blasphemous
from the constitution - and polls suggest they will.]

[Ireland's vote to remove the offence of blasphemy from the constitution
has been hailed as a step towards reforming the country's society.
Some 65% of those who voted backed the move during a referendum
held alongside Friday's presidential election.]



It's about time
Ireland changed that old law.

There’s no need for blasphemy laws is there.
If god is real then he will deal out the necessary punishment when you croak it.
