The Irish say no to the constitutional reform that eliminated the protection of “the woman in the house”. The Irish have given a slap in the face to their Government and in the process have given it to themselves.
A confusing and lukewarm campaign leads to a defeat for the Government, which also does not advance a definition of family broader than that of marriage. The Constitution of the Republic, approved in mid-1937 and amended dozens of times, maintains to this day the embers of an intransigent Catholicism.
