While there is no perfect constitution in the world, the framers of our constitution displayed a damn sight more wisdom and insight than minister Eamon Ryan. Does he really think these changes will improve the constitution? From his track record of absurd assertions he probably does. He also seems to like squandering government income on wasteful spending but it is not his money.
Not to mention spending many millions more on cycle lanes that very few people seem to use.
Are long term dole merchants recognised in the constitution.? They get a raise every year.
I can certainly think of better ways to spend €23,000,000 of taxpayers money.
Thats a very nice marxist sdg badge he is wearing with pride on the suit that his mammy clearly stitched together 40 years ago. Vote no, no definition on durable relationship and no consequences published, pre legislative scrutiny done and was intentionally bypassed and it was ripped through the dail.
If religious, this guy must live in the confession box
Can he coherently explain what he said.
Without descending into gibberish word salad?
I’d say not!
the removal of the word ‘mother’ from the “constitution will make the document “stronger”
Back in 1995 they assured us divorce would make marriage stronger.
The loathsome leadership of Ireland hold the people of Ireland in such contempt and disdain that they truly believe the reason why they suffered such a historic devastating referendum defeat is more to do with an unfathomable low national IQ rather than their pernicious attack on our constitution by the alphabet leadership to defile the status of Irish mothers and Irish families in our constitution.
Leave our mothers and children and families alone you loathsome leaders.
I cant help wondering if the provision of child benefit to every mother in the country is a result of the constitutional ‘endevour’ to enable women to stay in the family home – and a yes vote would pave the way for its discontinuation….
…or would it lead to the availability of child benefit to anyone who chooses to stay home and look after the children. This would be a hard one to enforce, which is probably why recipients are not currently expected to commit to not working outside the home, even though that in itself in my opinion does not serve the common good.
If they were suggesting that an adult family member that was prepared to make that commitment would receive financial compensation for the ‘support without which the common good cannot be achieved’ then it would at least make some sense to me anyway, as I personally do not believe that a childminder or a creche can replace parental love or care.
