Living and Working in Ireland judges, but that discourse does find particular relevance in this discussion. The rights mentioned in this article and the wider corpus of international human rights protect those in less fortunate and sometimes desperate circumstances, who currently do not have a say in how those rights are interpreted and protected. In extended reform, there would need to be a greater focus on representation and consultancy in all matters evaluating the measure of rights against important laws, and certain safeguards to protect those groups and individuals that could be potentially disenfranchised. Either way, there is clearly a need for change, to protect the Irish State of the past 100 years for another 100 years, and beyond.
