I empathise with, and deeply share the views you have expressed.

Violence, physical and/or psychological, will get us -- the citizens of the Republic of Ireland, of the so called "left", the "right", and the "centre" -- nowhere (collectively) it seems to me: especially now that we are well into "The Internet Age", which can, it appears to me, when used well, scale up the power of non-violent resistance to human rights abuses and injustices caused by governments (and their wrongdoing), as never before in the history of humanity.

It is thoughtful understanding, coupled with a basic knowledge of Bunreacht na hEireann (Constitution of the Republic of Ireland), the supreme law of the Republic of Ireland, that is the "path" best followed (in my opinion): particularly if we could all (or most of us) "hold the focus" tightly on Article 6.1, and its enormous potential for peacefully bringing to fruition a government of the people, by the people, for the people type of "genuine democracy" result: for ourselves, and for the future generations of all our descendents.
