It seems Irish government is a bit soft when it comes to punishing Atomic bombers.

According to Inderpendent.ie, an Irish news source, Irish Legislature has recently redrafted a 2006 Bill designed to punish anyone found guilty of detonating a nuclear bomb. Many Irish officials are outraged that the draft still includes provisions that an offender be punished with just a year in prison or fined €5,000.

The original Bill was widely mocked for its provision that in certain cases, the district court may try the person charged with that offence “summarily”, which theoretically raised the prospect of the Probation Act being applied to first-time nuclear terrorists.

Amazingly the same enabling clause was kept in the draft legislation when it was revived for the current session.

Only now has the Government conceded to opposition insistence that treating a nuclear explosion as a minor offence could make this country a laughing stock.

My question is, are there second-offense nuclear terrorists? Sheesh.
