i think they should have just as much influence, government officials are there to represent the everyday people however they often do not know what the people actually want, instead chasing their own ideals

I think legislatures should heed public opinion, but there's also a huge issue of misinformation and a lack of understanding by the public when discussing legal issues. I think the media has massively failed in its responsibility to accurately report on criminal law in Ireland and it has led to a wave of misinformation about how the legal system operates or why certain laws/procedures work in the manner they do. As a result, I don't think it's necessarily always the best idea to have the court of public opinion act as the legislatures as well.
Individuals should have all the say. Everyone it’s effecting should have their word.

Citizens are the people of the country so of course they should have an impact on government issues
