Sorry, this will not be long but here a couple of links to the new blasphemy law in Ireland. I searched here but did not find this issue. Let me know if this is old news. There are more links out there. Have not seen it on BBC.
Ireland has adopted a new law which has been in debate for several years. The law makes blasphemy illegal. The maximum fine, as amended, is 25,000 Euros or at the current exchange rate, $34,977 USD. The law also gives the police authority to confiscate blasphemous materials.
