That’s shocking!!!

To hide his true occupation

https://irishelectionliterature.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/gwalshe11a.jpg

He is offering resistance…………

They should just say “Gerry Walshe, who sure as hell isn’t a lawyer,…”

Ohm y God!

It’s just a phase he’s going through

Ah here! Yis are all fcukin’ wired.

because he’s not the brightest spark

Referendum was passed, people have spoken. Throw this fool out of court and award costs against him for wasting everyone’s time. actual cases could be heard instead of airing this freeman’s bullshit

Take the money off him and throw a big F-Off pride party in Lisdeen

‘New Ireland Party’ more like ‘Old Ireland Party’!

Some of his brain’s circuits are fried.

Because Joe the plumber cant afford high court actions but if you are a electrician!, i think its a cross between running for election and a magician?

Wait til Tony Kilduff, Theowolf, fear ban Paul Roche and the rest see this they will be skipping around with joy in support for Mr Walsh. Not homophobic they will tell us.

Gerry walshe really really needs to get laid.

I don’t care who or what you marry Jimmy, I just know kids should be brought up with normal parents wherever possible. Nothing to do with you or any other gay person.

Tony you are the only person I have had the displeasure of communication with that is not a normal parent. Teaching children to hate is not normal.

I don’t hate anyone Jimmy, and I certainly don’t teach kids to hate. I’m of the opinion that kids should have a mother and father wherever possible. Am I not entitled to have that opinion ? It’s nothing to do with you or anyone else being gay. You seem a bit angry Jimmy, what’s your problem with me having an opinion?

Could you imagine, just for giggles I’m not saying I advocate anyone doing such things (but if they did, I’d pay to see the video) if gay couples quietly moved in all around Gerry Walshe and then suddenly surprised him with a ‘coming out’. It could be a bit like a synchronised event, picture it, rainbow banners, Village People singing YMCA, and yer man with the arse out of his trousers. Your could run a charity raffle, guess how long it’d take Gerry to completely loose his shite?

Tony said this morning he only spends an hour a day on the Journal and that he doesn’t care about LGBT articles. Yet here he is nearly 13 hours later…..on an LGBT article….

Tony that is not an opinion. That is a lie. It has been proven to you over and over again that children that are raised by same sex parents do just as well as those raised by opposite sex parents.

http://whatweknow.law.columbia.edu/topics/lgbt-equality/what-does-the-scholarly-research-say-about-the-wellbeing-of-children-with-gay-or-lesbian-parents/

You accuse gay people of been incapable of raising children and demand that it is up to us to prove to the almighty Tony Kilduff that they are fit parents. We have done you the curiosity of providing you with undisputable evidence to that prove we are capable parents. You haven’t got a shred of evidence to prove that we are not.

You campaign to have the children that are been raised by gay parents to be dragged out of the arms of their parents on practically every lgbt related article on the Journal. Without any consideration for views of these children. You ignore the views of the now adult children of gay couples to spite the fact that the no campaign could only find three people in the entire world that have been raised by gay people who have a problem with it. And you refuse down blank to tell these children and now adult children what it is that is wrong with them or how they have been negatively affected by having gay parents.

Tell me again what part of all that is not hatred for gay people and their children.

I ask you again Tony will you tell these children and now adult children what is wrong with them?

Tony Killmuff, you seem to have a lot of opinions about what others can and can’t do, you were over on the abortion article earlier telling women what they can and can’t do now here you are lecturing the gays. What is your problem Tony?

Ah Socrates.. How ironic you pick a clever guy as a profile name. He was a great thinker whereas you always make yourself look a bit dim with your comments. I don’t remember saying I don’t care about LBGT articles, you just made that up didn’t you, you old scoundrel you ! Plus at this stage of the day I wouldn’t say I’ve spent half an hour on the journal yet. Socrates would be embarrassed by you. lol

Ah here… Jimmy is going all hysterical again. Wasn’t it Paul Roche that rubished that link of yours ? Written by some gay students for gay people ?

Gerry thinks pulling a wire, is sufficient Doctor and needs Viagra!

Tony saying” I don’t remember saying I don’t care about LBGT articles” two minutes after he says ” It’s nothing to do with you or anyone else being gay”

I’m not lecturing anyone Tiger , I’m expressing opinions. What’s YOUR problem ?

@Socrates.
It’s a constitutional matter first and foremost.
Every citizen should show an interest in this.

I said my opinion on parenting was nothing to do with gay people, not that I don’t care about LBGT articles. Try and keep up Jimmy.

No Tony Paul Roche that rubbished that link. He lied and said that it was written by some gay students for gay people. Any fool would see that if they bothered their h**e to take a look at them. The fact that you didn’t bother to look at them is evident of your homophobic agenda.

James is the Malcolm X of the gay community. Full of righteous anger.
All straight men are the devil.

A tony who do you think you are fooling. a quick look back over lgbt articles anyone can see that you were all against marriage equality. Once the referendum was over you started raving on about how you don’t care whether gay people can marry or not. He tells me to keep up and he can’t keep up with his own line of thought lol

Tommy you are on the wrong thread. This article is about marriage equality not black people’s rights.

I never had a problem with gay marriage Jimmy ! You just made that up too didn’t you ? You can marry a horse for all I care. I’m of the opinion that children need a mother and father wherever possible. Your answer to that is that I’m some kind of homophobic monster, when in reality my opinion is nothing to do with gay people.

Lol. .. fair play Tommy you evil monster you, I really did lol this time !

Actually Tommy technology it is not a constitutional matter. There is no mention in the constitution that says that marriage is between man and a woman only. The only reason it was put to a referendum is that it would put the bigots back in their box where they belong.

You seem a bit confused Tony.

Not at all Sarah. What part of my opinion confuses you ?

Of course you laugh Tony you always laugh at children when you come on here to spout your rubbish about their gay parents.

Shur you won’t even do these children the courtesy of tell them and the now adult children what is wrong with them?

Who’s laughing at children Jimmy ? Are you drunk or something ? You’re coming out with some really bizarre stuff. Laughing at you maybe..

Now my hour is up Jimmy ! I get bored with your nonsense to be honest and I do have a life and family outside of this. Kick your ass again tomorrow maybe ? lol…

Your hour is up? Is your care worker coming to put you away Tony?

Stop sounding so aggrieved James. You’re never going to right every perceived slight you’ve experienced as a gay man over the course of your life.
Time to chill.
The same sex marriage issue is done and dusted now. You’ve had your day in the sun.
Enjoy it now. Drop the anger.
Feel the Grá.

Tony don’t tell lies now you continually stated on the journal that you were voting no in the referendum.

” I’m of the opinion that children need a mother and father wherever possible.” ” when in reality my opinion is nothing to do with gay people.”

Two gay men raising children where one is the biological father. Two gay women raising children where on is the biological mother. That would account for 99.9% of gay headed families. You have no problem with single parents where one parent is not involved and have never campaigned for those children to be taken from their single parent. You have campaigned to have the children of gay parents to be taken from them.
Exactly what part of that has nothing to do with gay people?

As far as I’m concerned if anyone is going to make dramatic claims then they have to be able to back them up with equally dramatic evidence. The argument that children raised by same sex parents do just as well as children raised by opposite sex parents has been studied, proven and published in respected peer reviewed journals. That case is closed. There is no argument.
If someone were to counter this argument they’d have to produce some really amazing evidence, it would have to be something really groundbreaking and published , again, in peer reviewed journals. As no such evidence exists the point is moot.

I’m not aggressive Tommy what makes you think that? When I’m bored I like to wind up Tony and the rest of the homophobic Tw**s lol

Highly debatable ‘evidence’.

Is that your new rule now Tony. One hour of not been able to tell the kids what you believe is wrong with them a well nothing new there cowards always run when their beaten.

What evidence are you referring to Tommy?

The Australian Study of Child Health in Same-Sex Families (ACHESS) e.g.
Seems to be the flavour of the month.
Random sampling is the gold standard of social scientific studies. The ACHESS study used the snowballing technique where motivated friends asked their friends to participate in a study in which the participants knew the primary questions up front,
Many people signed up for political reasons. There was a social desirability bias.
No peer review either contrary to current belief.
By the way, here’s Peter Crouch, the author of the study with his family.
https://researchconnect.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/family-photo.jpg

I married a horse. He’s hung like a donkey

Tony, his problem is with you describing gay people as not normal. There is no single way for a human being to be normal, but you have made a distinction to support your own prejudices. You say you don’t hate anyone. Well you don’t have to go so far as hating – just considered them not normal. That should cover it

Since you opinion is based on reactionary notions steeped in the inherent homophobia you have constantly displayed in your unceasing postings on this subject, he and every other decent person has an absolute right to feel angered by the disgusting bigotry you call your own. Any other questions on that point Tony?

@ Tommy “Random sampling is the gold standard of social scientific studies. The ACHESS study used the snowballing technique where motivated friends asked their friends to participate in a study in which the participants knew the primary questions up front,”.

The children come from all states and territories in Australia, with the exception of the Northern
Territory. But they are all friends and flew from every party of Australia for playdates and to chat about primary questions every second day lol. Come on Tommy make a better attempt than that.

Many people signed up for political reasons. There was a social desirability bias.
Gay families signed up for a study on gay parenting so that makes it bias. lol Maybe he should have had straight couples to do the study on gay parenting. Even Tony wouldn’t come out with something that stupid lol
So the lead author is gay on this particular study. so what ? It’s not like he’s not qualified or anything.

I hope ye are very happy together Rodney

James you won’t get anywhere with facts and logic. Prejudice rules. Haters gonna hate

@ Bridget. I think Tonys problem in the words of Shakespeare: “Methinks he doth protest too much?”
There is some evidence to suggest as much. In a 1993 study, levels of homophobia were assessed among 64 men along with their sexual arousal (measured by increases in penile circumference) in response to erotic videos of heterosexual, same-sex female, and same-sex male encounters. Those who scored high on homophobia were more likely to also manifest sexual arousal in response to the videos of male homosexual encounters.* In a more recent study it was found that men raised in authoritative households were more likely to repress same-sex attractions and to exhibit more hostility to gay people.
Emile Griffith, a recently deceased welterweight and middleweight champion, pummeled an opponent to death after he had called him an anti-gay slur, Griffith continuing to punch him in the head well after he had clearly won the fight. Though he denied he was gay or bisexual at that time, later in his life Griffith admitted to having had affairs with several men including a male partner who cared for him up until his death.

Yes James. I’ve seen studies of this type. Seems valid enough if a guy is terrified of being gay, which is often the case with rabid haters who are sprinkled liberally through history. Of course some people just want to vent their frustration (no pun intended) on someone or something. Maybe it comes under the heading of ‘Phobia’ an irrational fear of something unlikely to harm you. Gays, spiders, clowns, whatever you’re having yourself. Me I have an irrational fear of heights. I’m just waiting for an article on abseiling so I can get stuck in to those weirdos!

Tony, you were on here yesterday morning, you were on here yesterday afternoon and based on the timeline of your comments here for over an hour last night with a multitude of comments. We all know your obsession Tony. We all see your homophobia is a fettish that turns you on. How’s the wrist?

Why do Ye even bother replying to Tony? He’s literally a waste of time. You won’t change his homophobia.

Tony let’s have a game of “would you rather” here goes: would you rather a child to be brought up with a mother and father but one physically abuses them, or a child to be brought up with two loving people of the same sex?

And here we go again…. When faced with points they cannot answer the gay bullies descend into hysteria and pack mentality takes over. He’s gay, he’s a hater, he’s homophobic. … blah, blah, blah… You guys need to accept there will always be people like me that know the best way to bring up a child is with a mother and father and that has nothing to do with gay people anyway. Get over your selfish desires to play happy families at the expense of kids, it truly is disgusting to most people.

Really Socrates ? Is that the best you can come up with…How is my wrist ? You really are a bit dim.

as this article is based on the referendum it’s worth pointing out once again that said referendum had no bearing on same sex couples raising children . that was already legal

Poor Tony He doesn’t know enough to know that he knows nothing. All the big bad gays are at him. Tony is going to have to except that he knows nothing about what is best for children and that there will always be people who know that a child needs loving parents and that the sex of the parents doesn’t matter. He always needs to except that telling gay people that they can’t raised kids is homophobic. He always need to except that his campaign of hatred for gay parents and their families is not working as nobody cares what he thinks.

O I forgot to ask how is your wrist Tony darling?

Which point would they be that we can’t answer? would it be the one that you can’t answer Tony? You don’t seem to be able to tell our children what it is that is wrong with them and how has having being raised by gay parents had a negative effect on them. That is the only point that hasn’t been addressed so far in this entire debate. We all know that you can be a little bit dense Tony darling but that is your point. Telling children that there is something wrong with them and their families and not telling them what it is truly disgusting to all people bar Tony.

Tony there won’t always be people like you. The current generation fo teenagers already think you are dinosaurs, and their kids will look at you the same way they’ll look at the people who expected Rosa Parks to sit down the back of the bus.

I’m amazed your type can’t see this, you are going to go down in history as bigots

Oh there will Ryan, you think there will come a time when everyone agrees with gay parenting? Don’t kid yourself. Are we supposed to take advise on parenting from teenagers and gays now ? They very people who have no experience of parenting ? …Good man, that makes perfect sense.

More hysterical nonsense from Jimmy…Would you ever calm yourself down lad. And it’s accept not except. It gets harder by the day to take you seriously.

As sure as hell nobody will be taking any advice from you Tony darling. Tony thinks he knows better than all the experts in the field that have spent half their lives studies the psychology of children and parenting lol. a sher let the poor fool dream on.

Tony i’m well aware that my spelling is not so good as I am dyslexic which i have told you before but thanks all the same for telling me what is wrong with it
It’ such a pity though that you can’t tell the children of gay parents and the now adult children what is wrong with them. You still haven’t answered that question. When you do which you won’t because you don’t know you might have some hope of somebody taking you seriously. lol That will never happen. You get two hysterical when you see that gay parents are far better at it than you to even think about it lol

Anyway.
Best of luck to you Gerry.
The good people of Ireland are behind you.
I’ll drop in for a cup of tea next week to see how things are going. (drop you in a few bob)

Hi Tony, how do you know it’s the best way to bring up kids? Before you answer just be mindful that I won’t accept “cos I just do” or “I know a fella who had gay parents and he was a screw up”. I would prefer an answer that stands up and is based on evidence. That’s a fair request isn’t it?

Anybody can appeal the referendum decision . They are or arguing they are acting in the public interest. They will not be charged.
Not everything is the Iona institute. 25 % of people freely rejected this bill of there own accord.

Barry, costs were already awarded against him for his previous actions.

Most of the people who voted No @Barry didn’t do it becuase of SSM they did it because they bought into a load of lies about side issues dragged into the campaign, just like prop 8 in california

Either way, one persons should not be in position to hold back results of the referendum. We’d never achieve anything if that was the case…

Daniel he won’t win, but it is good for that a referendum can be challenged it can highlight unintended consequences.

Is he doing this of his own accord or is he fronting the church in any capacity?

But only if unintended consequences are highlighted…

I’m unconvinced that these legal challenges reveal potential unintended consequences. If there are unintended consequences, these will only emerge through actual experience.

The challenges are vexatious, self indulgent, obstructive and anti democratic in objective.

Can’t argue with that, Tony.

It’s nothing to do with unintended consquenses, these cases are NOTHING to do with SSM or the implications of it (it would be lunacy if people could challenge on those grounds when the people already made their decision – it was insane to put this kind of thing to a vote at all) it’s all technicalities about how it was rolled out etc, the last cranks for example tried to argue that people who did not vote should be considered no voters.

It’s a crank law suit

Either way the taxpayer then.

He’s representing himself, so there’s no bill for legal representation. Not sure if the courts charge for actually bringing the case. But then there’s the hundreds of thousands the State needs to pay to use real lawyers and barristers to defend the will of the people against this wing nut. Which he doesn’t have to pay at all.

It might be us via the public purse. I wonder if his neighbours who have had their incomes squandered would be interested in finding out who is funding this expensive obsession of his.

Odd, I watched the tally and it certainly looked like the people had voted- or are you one of these people who think everyone is a sheep when you don’t get your way?

The appeal relates to the government issuing and signing the referendum certificate although the Supreme Court hadn’t delivered its final ruling on Walsh’s legal action. The majority can only speak within a particular legal framework. The government and many pro-SSM activists believe this issue is more important than any other constitutional issue and therefore don’t have to bothered with playing by the rules. Well they do, so it’s going to take a little longer to get what you’re looking for.

How many votes did Atlantic Philanthropies cast in the referendum? At the maximum it would be one. That left another 1,201,606 votes in favour.

Atlantic Philanthropies funding ended in 2013. Every penny was accounted for. All donations to YesEquality were made by Irish citizens only (I know, because I campaigned and canvassed for the Yes vote but I was not allowed to donate because I hold a British passport! ). NOM was asking it’s followers to support the NO campaign less than a month before the referendum.

The Supreme Court was not asked to issue a Stay. That is what the Judge is referring to. If Mr Walshe was serious he could have asked for a Stay, instead he didn’t which allowed the Government to move ahead with introducing the Bill.

The country voted NO in the Maastricht Treaty also.
That didn’t work out too well.

You are right Tommy it is a bit presumptive. Award for biggest loser in Ireland goes to you. It should look nice beside your award for biggest Troll

You’re incorrect. The country voted 69% Yes to 31% No in the 1992 Maastricht Treaty.

Indeed, Alan, and the rabid and ranting ‘no’ side can’t deal with losing or the fact that the people have spoken. I mean they actually, and forgive me if I dreamt this, tried to say that people who DIDN’T vote should be counted as ‘no’ voters.

Completely insane and no respect for the will of the people.

The will of the People ha your having a laugh thousands voted illegally as they were not living in Ireland and should not have been on the register plus american money bought the election from start to finish after it was pre planned at the civic forum made up of politicians that wanted to be politically correct without even so much as discussing one parent family cuts during the children family relationship bill then they jump on that bandwagon now after it’s happened hypocrites & lairs. .

A) If it was illegal then why isn’t it being challenged on that basis?

B) If the result was bought them why isn’t it being challenged on that basis? I know I wasn’t paid for my vote.

You do know that fact is not made fact just because you say it, right?
