Ireland rejects referendum for 'less sexist' Constitution. Prime Minister Leo Varadkar announced that the two referendums on the family amendment and the welfare amendment have been defeated.
The first question proposed broadening the concept of "family founded on marriage" included in the 1937 Constitution to every form of "lasting relationship" and "cohabitation between couples or with children" The second aimed to eliminate the article that establishes "domestic care" on the part of women as a duty.
