Homosexuality is illegal in Ireland? Meaning, they actually arrest you for being gay? I highly doubt that. Could one of our across-the-pond members clean this article up a bit? [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 19:16, 8 October 2007 (EDT)

:...clean-up? Even assuming that this isn't parody, it'd need something like a full rewrite, if just to avoid over-the-top phrases like "is guilty of this and guilty of that", which make the article look more like opinion piece and less like encyclopedia. A few sources wouldn't be bad, either. I'd tackle the former, but without sources (and for broad claims like this, it's hard to find any on the fly), I'd have to fly blindly, potentially inducing (more?) inaccuracies. --[[User:Jenkins|Jenkins]] 19:27, 8 October 2007 (EDT)

::Yes, well, the origonal author of the article has said that I have been too harsh on him, so I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt here. Honestly, though, I don't know anything about the Irish Times, so I didn't want to completely cut all of the over the top stuff without knowing what I was doing. Same problem it sounds you have. Hrm, how does one find sources *about* a news source? I'll be back... [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 22:34, 8 October 2007 (EDT)
