Thanks Mullets I think I've done it now, I await the email so I can get started!

Once you publish your feedback you can read the comments by others, most of them a very against these proposals.

Excellent spot OP! Ability to post anonymously... Let's do this! Some homework for us this evening.

I just typed in the letters on the screen. Similar to the one you do to prove that you are not a robot.

@OhHolyJesus

Anyone else struggling to register? It asks for a code which you get from playing a short clip which is different voices saying letters and number - presumably a random code generated each time.

It's really weird and I can't register, it won't allow me to. It's very frustrating.

Help appreciated!

What happens when you put in the code? I had to try two or three times as I got it wrong but it worked eventually - can you see the letters/numbers on the screen?

They don't make it easy do they?

The womensspaceireland website gives a good outline for objections but you can see from recent submissions that many people in former Eastern Block countries object to the new restrictions. Echoes of the former regime.

How do you get into it? It doesn’t seem to link. Though the notes from women’s space are fine.

You need to set up an account with the EU using an email address.

For anyone wondering -

You can submit anonymously. You just have to register. My response was showing as 'anonymous' with no identifying information.

It's a free text box, you can write whatever you wish - there is a limit but I think enough spce to write a decent amount if you like.

Heartened to see that the submissions I coudl read (English language ones) all seemed to be supporting freedom of speech and criticising the idea of Hate crime. The only positive one I saw was from an NGO. It's an industry, this.

Well done for spotting, OP. Will do.

OhHolyJesus · 20/04/2021 09:49
