The Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill is working its way through the Irish parliament.
Almost 40 other nations have already enacted similar laws curbing freedom of expression.
But for me, the most depressing aspect of hate-speech legislation is how absurd it all is.
Anything said by anyone, under any circumstances, can be construed as hate speech.
