Incredibly, profane talk is an offence in Ireland, under its Constitution - although nobody has been prosecuted for over 150 years.

Consequently, yet another referendum is being held at the end of the month - to, hopefully, have it removed.

The country's Constitution has had to have numerous changes in recent years - to get rid of the influence of the Catholic church on the nation's affairs, for example.

And to allow abortion, gay marriage etc.

I think the English blasphemy law was only changed in the last ten years, wasn't it?

Yes Honey - but not by a referendum, on our Constitution...
