THE REFERENDUM ON the woman’s place in the home may be delayed until next year, due to a decision made by the Dáil’s business committee this morning.
The referendum was expected to be held at the end of October, on the same day as presidential election and the referendum on removing the reference to blasphemy in the Constitution.
However, the Dáil’s business committee agreed the Bill to allow for a referendum must go through pre-legislative scrutiny.
Concerns have been raised about the proposal for a straight-forward deletion of the reference to women in the home in the Constitution.
The government decided to proceed with a proposal to delete the wording, despite concerns expressed by the Constitutional Convention and the Justice Department.
It had been suggested that the clause should be amended rather than deleted completely and that a gender-neutral clause or a reference to women caring in the home should be included.
During the week, the Taoiseach said reference to women in the home should be totally deleted, adding that the language is “sexist and anachronistic”.
Given the contention on the issue, the business committee refused to grant a request to waive the pre-legislative scrutiny of the Bill which allows for a referendum (which is regularly requested by ministers)
It is understood the committee agreed the Bill must now go before the Oireachtas Justice Committee in September.
TheJournal.ie understands that it has been suggested that this is too late for establishing the Referendum Commission before the proposed date of the end of October.
It is understood the referendum could be held on the same day as the EU and local elections on 24 May, unless government goes for stand alone date early next year.
A number of referendums are due to be held in 2019. These include:
It is understood Cabinet has been informed of the Business Committee’s decision.

Go on home to your sexy wives !
If the Swedish government need someone to go over to Sweden and have lots of sex with lots of sexy blonde Swedish women I’m game. Willing to do my bit to help the world.
I think Sweden might just have bigger fish to fry than Coitus right now…and for many years to come….
There is probably a lack of consensual sex going on in fairness.
But at least society isn’t too white anymore! Yucky Caucasians!
It’s funny I spend half the year surrounded by Approx 1,500 Swedes and none of them seem to think they have the issues you regularly highlight! Maybe living there they know something you don’t
Plenty of sex going on …if being held down in an ally and gang raped by 6 Muslims counts ??
We’re to busy having our coffee breaks (Fika) and judge people who earn more than us. And wish someone else would do something about it.
No sex please, we’re multicultural.
Multiculchies you mean?
Might have something to do with the fact that they’ve spent decades demonising traditionally “masculine” behaviour and possibly even broken the native Swedish men to the point were they’re probably afraid they might be considered a sex offender for daring to so much as even flirt with a woman. Meanwhile, they’ve imported an actual real life rape culture, let it run wild and free, and done everything in their power is done to cover this up. There seems to be plenty of sex happening in Sweden. It just isn’t consensual and Swedish men aren’t usually getting any.
Call me feminine again, and I swear I will hit you with my handbag. Behave.
If you’re talking about sex then you’re not getting any.
The imported enrichers are having loads of “sex”with local Swedish women
Sweden has broken their men , they are ladyboys now compared to their Viking heritage. Maybe their women are hoping to get some action from the new invaders?
So, does the Swedish government want to encourage its citizens to have more sex? if so, I wonder how they’ll go about that.
I’d imagine they’ll just do what our government do to us and f*(k them when they’re least expecting it.
Tax incentives.
No, it will be an excuse to add more migrants to their population?
Swedish Blondes having less sex!!! I think the country needs more Psychiatrists for the male population.
There just worried if they’ll be a minority in 40 years to come!
But their wives are so sexy.
Until they become your wife….
I actually find this incredibly sad men in Sweden now are probably afraid to talk to woman due to the radical feminist movement in that country. The one bright spot is there a new kind of men in Sweden now and believe me girls they wont take no for an answer
Swedes eh? Well, that’s a turnip for the book!
Radish-ing news, isn’t it? :o
I’m thinking of melons now after that…
Swede here! I’m not sure this article is entirely true. I have sex constantly.
I wish I wasn’t alone when i do, though. :/
I’m no sociologist but I think when electricity becomes available in a country the birth rate plummets 20 to 30 years later. Education and contraception are the main reasons but people sitting around watching television and on computers instead of having sex doesn’t help.
Tyrn off the Red Light probably has something to do with it.
And feminists.
If it’s a jailable offence to have paid for sex I’m not surprised nobody is taking a chance
Plenty are still doing it here…
In some countries of Western Europe there is too much sex and not enough babies born to maintain the population level. Some societies aren’t reproducing themselves and depend on continued immigration to keep the economy functioning. The Swedish Government should be taking a hard look at the birth rate.
Or bring in millions of migrants.
*Rolls up sleeves* Time to help our Swedish cousins…
Sex with cousins, yikes…
probably will end up lowering the age of consent to 5
Swedish women are getting desperate.

Down with that sort of thing
They can’t see what they are doing in the winter, then there is the cold and in the summer they can’t do it in sunlight?
50 shades of Sweden?
have your say
