Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien says he expects the referendum to go ahead in November
The referendum was announced last March on foot of recommendations from the Citizens’ Assembly on gender equality. The assembly recommended a referendum to remove the constitutional limits on women; to value and recognise care in the home and the wider community; and to protect all families equally.
The plans for either an omnibus vote on all of the issues, or potentially three referendums, were announced in March in what Mr Varadkar described then as a “tight timeline”. He told the Dáil last month the Government still intended to hold the referendum in November. Asked about the delay, Mr O’Brien said: “I know that it has been discussed at [party] leaders’ level and with the Taoiseach as well. I haven’t seen that wording as of yet ... I don’t have any further updates with regards to the wording but it is a priority for the Government that we have a referendum.”Asked if the referendum would still go ahead in November, he replied: “I have not heard anything to the contrary.
