Rabbitte can't take it.

Rabbitte is well named.Name and nature.There are few topics he has not pronounced on ,with weighed ,incisive and more often than not barbed comment.On the man usually.He has no compunction in publicly berating those who incur his displeasure.He and his ex Sinn Fein cohorts have had no trouble morphing from party to party as the opportunity arose.They now own the Labour Party body and soul.He has admitted that promises were made by his current party which have already been discarded.This is what you do in elections he reasoned.Make false promises.
I predict that when this Dail term finishes and the Labour ministers sojourn on their retirement bonuses that they will have left a cadaver of a Party similar to the Workers Party they jettisoned.
That that Party had Russian and Communist East European links is clear.
Such structured societies abhor and suppress free speech.
He does not want the Catholic Church,to which 86% of the population belongs, speaking out on matters of morality nor on matters  concerns the targeting of preborn life.
In my view the Church doesn't speak out half enough.And I look forward to Catholics of all stature and none defending their liberties and expressing their views more often and more publicly.
Mr.Rabbitte you are totally wrong to try and suggest that free speech should be suppressed here.Like in East Germany for decades.
The whip system your party imposes on its parliamentarians won't work with ordinary people.
Stop the oral bullying and grow up.
