If you're not sure how you're going to vote in Friday's referendum, you're not alone. According to an Irish Times / IPSOS B&A poll in February, 53% of those surveyed admitted to hardly knowing anything at all about the ballot taking place on March 8th. What seemed like a straightforward proposal to expand the definition of the family and remove the reference to women's 'duties' in the home, has turned into a confusing melange of views. Those in favour of changing the constitution include the government, the vast majority of the Opposition as well as many NGOs. Calls to vote No are coming from groups as disparate as disability rights activists, lawyers and bishops. If you've been too busy until now to take a look at the amendments and the arguments for and against, Political Correspondent, Jennifer Bray, explains it all in just 26 minutes.Presented by Sorcha Pollak and produced by Aideen Finnegan Hosted on Acast.
