The proposed referenda wording on care is unlikely to lead to the creation of any justiciable rights, while the proposed family amendment will result in “modest changes”, an academic has said.
Dr Eoin Daly, a lecturer in the School of Law in the University of Galway, said the referendum on care is more of a “symbolic statement” of what the state values.
