Putting blasphemy in its box

As I have said before on this site, the best reason for freedom of expression is commentary like this, from the always-incisive Martyn Turner in the Irish Times on Friday (03 July 2009) (click on the image for the full-size version from the Irish Times website):

Welcome

Me in a hat

Hi there! Thanks for dropping by. I’m Eoin O’Dell, and this is my blog: Cearta.ie – the Irish for rights.


“Cearta” really is the Irish word for rights, so the title provides a good sense of the scope of this blog.

In general, I write here about private law, free speech, and cyber law; and, in particular, I write about Irish law and education policy.
