The Constitution Review Group's report examines the preamble and various articles of the Irish Constitution, considering their relevance and potential need for amendment. The preamble, reflecting the ethos of the 1930s, is seen as overly Roman Catholic and nationalist, with suggestions for its revision to better represent modern Ireland's diversity and as PIRAtions. The report discusses the legal significance of the preamble and whether it should continue to have legal effect, with a majority favoring its amendment. Additionally, the report reviews Articles 1-11, covering topics such as the national right to self-determination, the national territory, the name and nature of the state, powers of government, the national flag, official languages, nationality and citizenship, natural resources, and state revenues, providing recommendations for each based on contemporary contexts and legal interpretations. [The document includes the name of Steven King annotated on the first page.The final version of the report was published in July 1996]
