What arrogance!
Harris and Martin claim that a 'subversion of the constitution' is afoot. It is over-the-top Trump-like language. But it gives a glimpse of the authoritarianism at the heart of this new government.
The Dáil broke into chaos because 'independents', led by Michael Lowry, tried to pull a stroke. They pretend to be in opposition even while backing a government to the hilt. It is all part of preserving an image of ‘independence’.
FF and FG constantly invoked talk of 'subversion' for decades as they unleashed the political police and Special Criminal Courts against those who fought against partition. And this was by no means confined to IRA supporters.
The new government will be one of the most right-wing in Irish history. This is why on day one, they start by attacking 'subversion'.
Get ready to resist.
