Other Bad Amendments

1933 in Germany, 85 years later Ireland · Other Bad Amendments

I think 5 and - just after the recently repealed 8 - 9 were key to a lot of others. Removing reference to special position of Catholic Church helped to remove one hindrance, on the institutional side. Allowing citizens from other countries to vote more or less invited non-Irish to immigrate (perhaps only from US and Commonwealth) in order to eventually reverse the 8 ... sure each had other reasons too, but some may have come to fight against the Catholicity of Irish Republic./HGL
