It's frustrating but it seems there's no stopping it. These traitors will continue pushing for different variations of this until one passes.

There might be. This website makes the process of emailing your representatives very easy.

I heavily changed the text they proposed in the hopes that it would be read. Just sent it now. If you're in the EU it's worth sending the email IMO.

The constitution in Ireland guarantees privacy in the home so I added that into the mix.

So proud that my country is already opposing! Don't have to do anything now (except for spreading the word, naturally).

It's the government's job, we pay them for it, why should I be wasting my time for free to do their job, after all? Just fire your governments and hire someone better suited for the task!
