Английская Википедия:1998 Irish constitutional referendums
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Two referendums were held together in the Republic of Ireland on 22 May 1998, each on a proposed amendment of the Irish constitution. Both measures were approved. A referendum in Northern Ireland was also held on the same day. The total number of people who voted (both countries) was 2,499,078.
Eighteenth amendment
Шаблон:Main The Eighteenth Amendment introduced two new articles into the constitution which allowed the government to ratify the Amsterdam Treaty.
Nineteenth amendment
Шаблон:Main The Nineteenth Amendment to the constitution allowed the government to ratify the Good Friday Agreement signed in Belfast on 10 April 1998, which included changing articles 2 and 3 of the Irish constitution which effectively claimed Irish sovereignty over Northern Ireland. The agreement was also endorsed in the simultaneous referendum in Northern Ireland. Articles 2 and 3 were subsequently changed in December 1999, and the territorial claim was replaced with an aspiration for a united Ireland to be achieved "by peaceful means with the consent of a majority of the people, democratically expressed, in both jurisdictions in the island".
