The Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference has released a statement highlighting their concerns about two important referendums in Ireland on "family" and "care" that are fast approaching and will take place on 8 March 2024.

The "Family Amendment" would change the wording around the role of marriage and family in the Irish constitution, bringing in "durable relationship" as a definition. The "Care Amendment", which deals with what has been called thewoman in home clause, would remove wording in the constitution pertaining to how mothers should "not be obliged by economic necessity" to have to "engage in labour" to the detriment of home life.
