In the coming weeks, the Dáil is expected to discuss the wording of the amendments to the Irish Constitution on women and the family, which are to go to referendum in March

The wording should enable legal enforcement, otherwise it makes a mockery of the recognition that carers, overwhelmingly mothers and other women, have been campaigning for and are entitled to. The whole of society depends on this life-giving, life-enhancing work, yet carers are impoverished and discriminated against for doing it.
