Eight decades after it came into force, the Irish Constitution (Bunreacht na h???ireann 1937) is coming under increasing scrutiny. It was reviewed piecemeal by a Constitutional Convention of citizens and politicians, which had an agenda that avoids dealing with or raising radical proposals, and many argued that it did not tackle the core problems of hte Irish State.
