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? HelpJazz 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. --Jenkins 19:27, 8 October 2007 (EDT)
