In Ireland, the double referendum on redefining the role of the family and women in the Constitution was defeated.
"I think it is clear - 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";
while the second aimed to eliminate the article that establishes "domestic care" on the part of women as a duty.
