Should it drop its UK status and fully merge with and become part of the Republic of Ireland, without borders? Or should it continue as part of the UK with its own parliamentary Assembly?

'Restorative Justice - Healing the Effects of Crime'
Written by Jim Consedine
'The Celtic Tradition: Repairing the Damage'
It then reads: Fivefold are Crimes
* the crime of the hand by wounding or stealing
* the crime of the foot, by kicking or moving to do evil deeds
* the crime of the tongue, by satire, Slander and False Witness
*crime of the mouth, by eating stolen things
*the crime of the eye, by watching while an evil deed is taking place

Brehon Law existed in Ireland until the final Tudor conquest in 1500.
The Irish had their own form of Criminal Justice System. The Brehon laws was based on its own form of restorative justice. These laws were replaced with the harsh retributive system of the coloniser!

Now......From Behon to a faltering Irish Peace Process.....Can we learn anything? read full story / add a comment
