Imagining Ireland

• Imagine a land where:

A pregnant woman dies because legislation is not in place to save her

Twelve and 13-year-olds are committing suicide due to bullying by their peers

Elected officials are found guilty of theft, tax evasion and fraud, yet serve no sentence

Thousands turn out for a rally to support a man who won't co-operate with the State in an effort to recoup badly needed state assets

Millions are spent inviting people to a 'Gathering' – the same people who have been forced to leave.

Now imagine Ireland.
