| Message | Madam Speaker, There are some parts of this bill Sinn Daoine could have supported but ultimately, we cannot support this bill in its entirety. Article 1 alone would cause tensions with LexGlobal, who own the TOC Kirlawan National Rail & Train and have invested heavily into our economy. Cillín Ó Kaine, TD Taoiseach of the Commonwealth |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
