The British Empire saw our people go around the world. We extracted value from most countries, gold, precious metals, food, wood and other materials etc. Can you tell me what we extracted from Ireland other than potatoes and meat...which we could grow and rear here anyway......

behave yourself

Do you think it's too sensible to believe that the government might seek an extension of the transition period on account of current events?

They’ll put populism before common sense, so no.

What are the benefits to society in keeping him alive? Can he be rehabilitated? If he can, does he deserve the chance to be rehabilitated? What if he appears to have changed, the parole board let him go, and he goes out and commits another atrocity?

Keeping him in prison, letting him live for the next 50-60 years in relative comfort, and at enormous expense to society, achieves what?

I agree with you somewhat, in that you can't rehabilitate someone like Brevik, but I think the costs of capital punishment would outweigh the benefits. Without even getting into the amount of innocent people who have been executed in the USA, the power of life and death should never be invested in the state imo

If the had any common sense yes , both sides have something huge and unseen before the decision to deal with, do I think they will do it no.

That is a very tricky moral path you start going down.
