    The president represents the entire Irish nation, and all citizens should be invested in their election. We hope to see this referendum held as early as 2022 (3/3)

    A year ago today the published this letter of mine. While the text of a referendum Bill has since been published, many of the points remain valid & relevant. Let’s plan, engage, inform & then win the referendum on presidential voting rights. 🗳
