Have to say fair play to Michael McDowell for simply looking at the amendment from a strictly legal standpoint. A yes vote to the "durable relationships" amendment opens to door to chaos.
He was elected several times... He had plans for a big prison outside Dublin but even then there were bleeding heart snowflakes who managed to stop it. It was going to cost €40m, oh how welcome it would be now 😢
I remember the self-righteous abuse this lad got circa 2005 over actually enforcing deportation orders. Imagine how many innocent lives would have been saved if we actually had a robust immigration policy; and an uncorrupt government to carry it out.
I think it was actually the late Brian Lenehan who really bore the brunt of the publicity back then. It was the case of Pamela Izembake that caused the fuss at the time.
It is not insane! The answer is simple: the mainstream media -- all of them -- were "captured" years ago to prepare for this dangerous woke nonsense. The media are paid agents of the State! So no surprise, or insanity, is relevant here!
I would remind people that this is the same Leo that said the aspects of the Dublin Convention were just red herrings and misinformation by far right elements, his statement was shown to be utter misinformation and simply lies, and here he is again warning us about red herrings?
The land of saints and scholars sold to the WEF.. When our former Attorney General is one of only a few voices speaking up he is speaking without fear yet against these monsters of so called morality. We must all recognise they are trying to legislate against common sense. Snakes in a cloak of wolves diversity.
@@FraudRackateeringandTreason What? He is former Attorney General and he knows damn well what the gov traitors are upto.. They are legislating against common sense, absolutely zero need to change the constitution..
I will be voting no to both, finally hearing the truth from Michael McDowell, I have become sick of the lies and disinformation from this current Government and their distain for Irish people and our wishes. Thank you Michael and thank you Ben
Thank God for people like Michael McDowell: a clear and concise legal opinion on why to vote no. In fact, to vote “no” in both referenda because of the government’s refusal of his FOI request.
Anyone who supports any suggestions recommendations or referenda from this government hasn't been paying attention over the last few years. It's quite obvious that this government hasn't the welfare of the Irish people as its priority. Vote NO in both referenda.
So good to hear McDowell's calm, meaured, and intelligent voice again. Ireland needs more voices like his to come forward and speak, especially in these crazy times.
I’ll be voting NO on both amendments’ I decided that weeks ago’ We as Irish citizens have a right to see what’s in those minutes and the information within them. .
Michael MmcDowell the best politician we’ve had ever ,this is what the real Ireland needs ,brilliant man with so much intelligence, exactly what politicians should really be ,well said Sir ,👍
Senator Mc Dowell is an Elder Statesman. We are so lucky to have someone of his experience and reputation to stand up and questions this Lunacy. He is our only Elder Statesman that is actually speaking up!
The greens are a marxist group worldwide bent on the destruction of the Christianian family unit and the destruction of all Nation states , to suit their Godless agenda , including pushing the lowering of the age of consent to 12 years basically paedophillia .
👍🏻 Refreshing listening to someone actually consider the issue and articulate his views instead of pushing a narrative and speaking down to the Irish public.
Fair play to Mc Dowell, I had him down as someone who was part of the scam but hes really standing up and going against the government and NGOs. Fair play to the guy. He has gained back a lot of respect in my eyes.
One of very few public figures I have any respect for is Michael. Vote No, to protect everyone, don’t be fooled by the selective information being spread by politrickians 🙊🙈🙉
O'Gorman has his own agenda and needs to go along with the rest of the manipulators and sabateours of our country in government. An absolute shambles and a complete waste of tax payers money.
So, if a man has 6 wives and 24 children, that would be proof of a durable relationship? In the UK we provide individual housing, education, health etc for these women and their children. Welcome to our world.
Maybe he's got two husbands also, that's where we're going. Same sex marriage was made legal after all, so it's getting ridiculous now. And Sha ria law will supersede our law if we are flooded with more foreign ideology.
We see what's happening in places like Birmingham - where the English are now in a minority in their own city - if you don't want this happening in Ireland support the protests and Vote No + No in the referendum....!
Hey guess what, white people will be a minority eventually so maybe just accept that because no matter the result of this vote this reality will not change 😊
Thanks Senator McDowell for explaining the intricacies of this referendum. Hopefully the ordinary person on the street will see this interview & vote NO! Thanks also to Ben for highlighting this issue! Wish that there were more journalists like you !
No no and no. These people who govern us need a stern rebuke that you work for us. US. No one else. I wasn’t overly fond of McDowell but on this I have to give him kudos for standing up.
Absolutely, the state of the homeless and immigration situation and we're having a referendum on this. It's beyond ridiculous. A complete waste of money and a dangerous precedent.
Senator nice to see there is still some honesty and integrity left. You may damage your political career but we will remember your loyalty to our (for now) sovereign nation.

Lost would assume he had any to begin with. I'm virtually convinced that man broke out of an asylum at some point.
