    On a vaguely related note to Ireland here, it seems in a follow up to the revival of obscure blasphemy laws, the Irish state has took to forcing convicts to climb holy mountains. Home Rule is Rome Rule! I told you so!

    Is "go back to Mayo" an insult in Ireland or something?
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    No it's not a common insult and as the thing shows the fella climbed it for charity afterwards and was very sorry by all accounts after about his behaviour to the Garda in question.(in an oblique way it ties into the "To Hell or to Connacht" statement of course seeing as I live in Connacht that means the rest of ye must live in Hell )

    Judges in Ireland tend to have a broad power in this regard as people are often ordered to put money into the courthouse poorbox as a fine for say disorderly conduct.

    Mind you the Judge would never have ordered a Protestant at least I have never heard of it if thats what your wondering, but in any case Croagh Patrick is almost a secular tourist attraction these days the view is fantastic and the climb is difficult enough to give a sense of accomplishment.
