Referendum (2014)

The 2014 Referendum in Ireland was a national vote where the Irish people decided whether to amend the country's constitution to remove the territorial claim to Northern Ireland. This was in response to a 1998 peace agreement, which acknowledged Northern Ireland as part of the UK. Voters approved the change, allowing the Irish government to focus solely on issues within Ireland without claiming sovereignty over Northern Ireland, fostering better peace and cooperation between the two parts of the island. The referendum marked a significant step in modern Irish politics, emphasizing reconciliation and respect for the Good Friday Agreement.
