Focus Ireland is hoping to help thousands of homeless people to register to vote ahead of the local and European elections in June.
Focus Ireland’s director of advocacy, Mike Allen, said that there are around 9,500 homeless adults in Ireland and many of them would not be registered to vote.
The charity is now hoping to change that as voting registration was simplified after the Electoral Reform Act was passed in 2022.
More than 50,000 Irish people have spent at least one night of their lives homeless, according to figures published by Focus Ireland. …

If they meet the criteria to be allowed to vote then they should be able to vote.
I bet they ain’t ‘Irish’......................
Why would anyone want bums to vote? That should be a disqualifier. They cannot order their own lives, and we want them to have a say in running a nation?
Insanity.
Bad move.
If someone doesn’t want to participate in society, they shouldn’t in any way.
But all this really does is give the cheaters a name to fill in a blank mail in ballot for and they homeless will never know they voted.
The thesis of the state socialist is that no line can be drawn between private and public affairs which the State may not cross at will; that omnipotence of legislation is the first postulate of all just political theory. …Governments that work on the principle of legislation being omnipotent are tyrannical.
*Bad move.*
Who cares? We got our own.
Deep States worldwide all use the same playbook.
This (bleep) sounds familiar for that reason.
Here are the rules about who can vote in Ireland
That’s why we care. Those that don’t care lose.
“Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”
One complaint of the native Irish is that ‘newcomers’ are pushing them out of affordable housing and the government favors the immigrants when it comes to emergency/subsidized housing.
Give Ireland Back To The Irish!
Even better - they’ll vote in US elections too!
… That to secure these rights (i.e. life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness), governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed — That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. …The Irish government is clearly destructive of the ends of securing the rights of the Irish people.
Oh, that they will. Certainly a group like “Focus Ireland” would not be solely focused on Ireland.
Don’t make them have to take it away...
