Talk:Amendments to the Constitution of Ireland

message: I believe this statement may be inaccurate: "While United Kingdom citizens resident in the state may vote in a general election, only Irish citizens can participate in a referendum."
Article 47 section 3 of the Irish constitution states that "Every citizen who has the right to vote at an election for members of Dáil Éireann shall have the right to vote at a Referendum." these statements seem to be contradictory.
I am unable to verify whether this section was amended after the 20th Amendment.
here is the source I have used

:According to www.citizensinformation.ie to vote in a referendum:
:"Who can vote? You must be an Irish citizen. You must be at least 18 years old. Your name must be on the Register of Electors." 
:I know, Wikipedia isn't a source but from Ninth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland: "The purpose of the Ninth Amendment was to allow UK citizens resident in the Republic to vote in Dáil elections. This was to reciprocate the Ireland Act 1949, which had granted Irish citizens resident in the UK the right to vote in elections to the British parliament. The effect of the amendment was to allow the Oireachtas (parliament) to extend the right to vote at Dáil elections to any non-citizens it chooses by simply passing a law. The amendment did not affect presidential elections or referendums, for which one must still be an Irish citizen in order to vote." Article 47 section 3 refers to Irish citizens only.

message: I'm not sure I like the idea. The peach background chose is too close to my eyes to the pink for a rejected referendum. These amendments were carried in 1983 and 1992, even if later repealed, and should be shown in green so that readers can see which referendums were carried by voters. -Iveagh Gardens (talk) 14:44, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The other catch is what counts as a repealed amendment. If the 36th will shortly repeal the 8th, 13th and 14th, we should note that the 28th amendment repealed the 10th, 11th, 18th, 24th and 26th amendments. — Blue-Haired Lawyer t 00:01, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Well spotted! The colours should simply indicate whether it passed or failed when proposed! —Iveagh Gardens (talk) 08:54, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

message: Why is the numbering so inconsistent with regards to those that were not approved?  Why is there no 12th, 22nd, 24th, 25th, 32nd, or 35th amendments, while in the case of the 3rd, 10th, 28th, and 30th amendments, the numbers were not skipped over, despite preceding amendments defeated in referenda?
