The Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference has called on the public to vote no in the upcoming referenda.

The referenda, due to take place on March 8, are around amending the Constitution to expand the definition of the family, as well as removing the reference to the woman's place in the home and replacing it with a recognition of care.
