Ireland’s March 2024 Constitutional Referendums. Has Ireland Taken a Step Back?
In Ireland, the institution of referendum is an important means of shaping the country’s political reality. As a result, the sovereign expresses his opinion on the most important issues, including changes to the constitution. Since the act was passed in 1937, citizens have voted on 40 amendments, 11 of which have been rejected. The last time this happened was on March 8, 2024. The 39 Amendment to the Constitution proposed to change the content of art. 41 so that it takes into account a broader concept of family. The purpose of amending Amendment No. 40 was expanding the concept of family care. The analysis presented in the text aims to present the circumstances that led to the rejection of the government’s proposal to change the constitution in the referendum. The research used primarily the legal and dogmatic method, as well as the decision-making and behavioral methods.

Cultural identity of Roma women in the space of an extended family
The aim of the article is to analyze the continuity and changes in the cultural identity of Romni in the space of the multigenerational family. The conducted research is a collective case study of 3 families in the grandmother-daughter-granddaughter line. The results of the study indicate that the continuity in shaping the cultural identity of Romni is most strongly influenced by the Romanipen principles, understood as an internal set of rules of coexistence, norms, values, customs, that apply to all members of the Roma community. It is a fundamental determinant in the education of young girls, with the help of which traditional duties and obligations are passed on and the image of Romni is formed. In the multigenerational model of cultural identity, the traditional perception of a woman’s role as mother and wife, responsible for passing on established values to the younger generation, has been observed. The challenges faced by Romni stem not only from the status they occupy within the Roma community, but also from the cultural peculiarities of this minority and traditional perceptions of the position and role of women. Aware of their background and the tasks assigned to them, they generally want to live in accordance with the traditions within their community.
