The govt are holding a referendum to amend the constitution next March regarding an article that basically states mothers are vital to a functioning state and they shouldn't be compelled to work outside the home if they don't want to.
Minister Roderic O'Gorman has called the language “archaic” and “sexist”. They're trying to persuade women it will be a strike against the patriarchy to change it and plan to hold the referendum on International Women's Day. They're calling it a “gender equality referendum”.
I'm not sure if women are going to fall for it yet.
RTÉ did an "explainer" video today but the problem is nobody can explain what the new text of the article will say if people vote to change it. They're keeping that under wraps. Another referendum on the same day aims to “provide for a wider concept of family” in the constitution.
At a Fine Gael party meeting in September, TDs worried the referendums could spark a 'nasty' culture war on gender, a concern also raised at a sub-cabinet committee meeting.

Labour's Aodhán Ó Ríordáin called a "horrible little man who can't contain himself" by Michael Healy-Rae in the Dáil.
Ó Ríordáin had called concerns raised by the Rural Independents group about immigration lies, fearmongering and the "lowest common denominator politics".
Ó Ríordáin then went on to do the bit about Irish people who never emigrated having some sort of weird blood pact with other Irish people who once did historically. This, he suggested, meant there was a moral duty for the those who remained in Ireland to endure another plantation.
Ó Ríordáin revealed in 2014 that his classmates in school nicknamed him 'Gay-dan O'Queer-don'. He told RTÉ that he used to put ear phones in his ears to try and drown out the taunts but inevitably the batteries would run out.

Locals in Ferns, Co. Wexford react to planned asylum centre.
"We have endless accounts of migrants doing things that are not in the interest of the locals."
"You hear stories that they're eyeing up little children and trying to take them, like. The government just turns a blind eye to it. They're blaming the thugs for doing the rioting, but what else are they supposed to do when kids are being stabbed in the daylight, like?"

Gardaí asked to collect ethnicity data to ‘dispel far-right myths’.
“The calls for the recording of ethnicity data in the criminal justice system have traditionally come from those who fear that there may be an undue policing focus on ethnic minorities.
“The research underway will hopefully contribute to providing reassurance to minority communities in this regard, and may also help to dispel myths regarding the level of crime carried out by migrants in Irish society,” the spokesman added.
>may also help...
They don't sound so convinced themselves.

The Irish Times suddenly relieved the Irish diaspora cannot vote in presidential elections.
No resistance to foreigners (some of whom we are assured are only here temporarily) voting in the local elections though.
