Constitutional referendums

The government proposed the Third Amendment of the Constitution Bill 1968, which would have allowed for divergence in the ratio of population to representation across Dáil constituencies, and the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 1968, which would have altered the electoral system from proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV) to first past the post (FPTP). They were put to referendums on 16 October 1968, and both were defeated by a margin of 39.2% to 60.8%. It was the second time a Fianna Fáil government had proposed to introduce FPTP, with a previous referendum defeated in 1959.

Confidence in the government

On 5 November 1968, Taoiseach Jack Lynch proposed a motion of confidence in the government, which was debated over three days.[26] On 7 November, it was approved on a vote of 68 to 60.[27]
