The Irish Government plans to hold a series of referenda in November 2023 to further alter the Irish Constitution as the next stage in its radical modernisation. Announced on March 8, International Women's Day, An Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar confirmed that three changes to the 86-year-old constitution are being proposed, with the exact wording to be formulated by the parliament in coming months.
The announcement follows a "Citizen’s Assembly on Gender Equality", which issued a report two years ago with a long list of recommendations for the government.
