If the Constitution says mothers shouldn’t be obliged by economic necessity to neglect their duties at home by going to work, then the State should remove it or pay up
The article in question is 42.1, which has two bits to it. The first is “...the State recognises that by her life within the home, woman gives to the State a support without which the common good cannot be achieved”. Which leads into part two because “the State shall, therefore, endeavour to ensure that mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of their duties in the home”.
Even the UN Human Rights Committee had a go at us over it, recommending in 2014 to amend “Article 41.2 of the Constitution to render it gender-neutral”. It was referenced in a High Court judgment in 1989 to have a homemaker’s labour recognised when determining her right to family assets but the decision was overturned.
Where is our “don’t worry love you stay at home and do the ironing” money if we want it? Carers who take the burden off the State to look after their loved ones receive a paltry amount with little respite resources. They haven’t been taken care of. Neither have young families who cannot get mortgages on a single salary.
