The Irish Constitution needs a complete overhaul to make it gender-neutral, the Labour Party leader has said.

Ivana Bacik has said that as well as taking out "sexist language" about women in the home, Bunreacht na hÉireann needs to be fully reviewed to remove all outdated and non-inclusive language.
