"Women's Life Within the Home", Race for The Aras
b'This week: Hot on the heels of the #8thRef, the government has scheduled a referendum for October 26th on Article 41.2 of the Constitution. It refers to a woman\\u2019s life in the home and is considered sexist and outmoded by many. The government is pushing for a straight deletion of the Article, but has there been enough discussion around what that actually means? The Oireachtas Women\\u2019s Caucus feels they weren\\u2019t consulted enough on the matter and there is an argument for the Article to be amended to be more inclusive, rather than removing it completely. Joining Pat and Sarah to debate the issue on today\\u2019s podcast is Dr Laura Cahillane from UL\\u2019s law department.Later: Micheal D Higgins has announced he\'d like to continue life within his home, \\xc1ras an Uachtar\\xe1in. Moves are afoot by some independent politicians to facilitate a challenger to President Higgins in an autumn election. Can they succeed? Pat asks Fiach Kelly and Noel Whelan.
