Don't force TD's to stand during the Dáil prayer
To delay the passing of new legislation in regard to the Dáil prayer that would require TD's to stand for the Dáil prayer and remove this requirement.
Why is this important?
There is a growing consensus amongst Irish people that the separation of church and state is necessary. The government have ignored calls for the scrapping of the Dáil prayer and are about to go a step further and force TD's to stand during the prayer. If they fail to do so, they risk being punished. Please help to show Enda Kenny and his government that this is not what the people of Ireland want. This new requirement is forcing our representatives to stand for a prayer that may be against their beliefs. This would not be required in any other workplace and so we ask that it is not introduced in government buildings.
