Counting in progress for the twin referendum to change the Constitution on family and care continues at the Royal Dublin Society , in Dublin, Saturday, March 9, 2024. Ballots are being counted on two Irish constitutional amendments that would broaden the definition of family and remove language about a woman’s role in the home. Counting in progress for the twin referendum to change the Constitution on family and care continues at the Royal Dublin Society , in Dublin, Saturday, March 9, 2024.
Opponents argued that the wording of the changes was poorly thought out — an argument that appeared to have gained traction in the final days of the campaign. Voters said they were confused by the questions and others said they feared changes would lead to unintended consequences. A proposed 40th amendment would have removed a reference that a woman’s place in the home offered a common good that could not be provided by the state and delete a statement that said mothers shouldn’t be obligated to work out of economic necessity if it would neglect their duties at home. It would have added a clause saying the state will strive to support “the provision of care by members of a family to one another.
The Free Legal Advice Centers, a legal charity, expressed concern the change to the section on care contained “harmful stereotypes such as the concept that the provision of care … is the private responsibility of unpaid family members without any guarantee of state support.”
