Donald Trump Jr has taken aim at Ireland’s proposed new hate speech legislation, labelling it “insane”. The legislation is long awaited as Ireland does not currently have specific laws dealing with hate crime. The Twitter user wrote: “Ireland is about to pass one of the most radical hate speech bills yet. Dark times.”Currently hate speech is covered by the 1989 Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act. Businessman and Republican Party campaigner Mr Trump Jr is very much in the same mould as his father.
