Media Minister Catherine Martin is “simply wrong” [1] about what the Constitution says about mothers in the home, according to the chairwoman of the Electoral Commission.
The Green Party Minister claims Bunreacht ne h’Eireann says “a woman’s place is in the home.”
Reacting to Ms Martin’s comments specifically in an interview with the Irish Mail On Sunday over the weekend, Justice Baker said the Minister was “simply wrong.”
“[The Constitution] says something much more positive than that. It says something that is a more positive statement of values. It says that the work women do in the home provides an important support to the common good of society.”
