Under the religious laws nothing would change for people who already follow their religion.

I mean, in recent memory, I can recall a same sex marriage referendum, abortion referendum and some others I'm sure I've forgotten about. Didn't even know Ireland had blasphemy laws, but given the huge margins for the more "liberal" referendums, I'm sure Ireland will vote to repeal blasphemy laws, which is undeniably a good thing.
Granted, while I'm always happy to see Ireland quickly becoming socially accepting in both attitudes and changes in law, I still dislike the Fine Gael government immensely for its cutthroat economic policies over the last several years. Oh well.

Our Constitution, which we adopted in 1936, requires a law against blasphemy. We're only now getting around to amending that out. Hopefully.

Then why not just get rid of that law?

It's evidently not used, after all. Why is it there, for the aesthetic?
That what the referendum is for I suppose.
It'll be nice to see Ireland not pop up on those fancy map graphics that label "Countries with existing Blasphemy laws".
I suppose the only potential ways this might fail are if everyone who wants to get rid of it doesn't bother to vote because they assume it'll be gotten rid of.
