Laws respecting Judaism, Islam and Christianity

Archbishop Michael Neary is reported to have said the following on Croagh Patrick today:

“Anyone who dishonours the faith of Israel, its image of God or its great figures must pay a fine. The same is true for anyone who insults the Koran and the convictions of Islam. But when it comes to Jesus Christ and that which is sacred to Christians there seems to be a different standard; freedom of expression knows no limits."
Can one be fined in Ireland for dishonouring the faith of Israel and can one also be fined in Ireland for insulting the Koran?

Are there different laws in Ireland protecting the three great faiths?
