Describes the Irish stereotype , sure Ireland elects conservative politicians , but votes in referendums very liberally , and votes to remove the rules that were brought in when the church had more power . 1983 abortion ban countered by the X case in the early 90 s for mothers who ' s life is at risk , suicide being a valid reason 1992 , failed referendum to remove suicide as a risk 2002 , same , failed referendumDivorce allowed by constitution in 1995 And then the big on in 2015 that is a real fuck you to the church marriage equality is enshrined in the constitution of Ireland . The church used to have a lot of sway in Ireland , but its really not the case anymore . <| sep |> fuck me i ' m an idiot . i ' m obscenely hungover . my bad , gang .
