There was an interesting confluence of events yesterday, with International Women's Day coinciding with Government confirmation of a referendum to take place this year.

The referendum vote is expected to remove a reference to “women in the home” in the Constitution — an amendment which has been discussed for years and which was a recommendation from the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality.
