den Teaghlach agus lasmuigh de. Uime sin, déanfaidh an Stát bearta réasúnacha chun tacú le cúram laistigh den bhaile agus lasmuigh de agus laistigh den Teaghlach agus lasmuigh de,”,

I gCuid 2, I leathanach 7, línte 12 go 14 a scriosadh agus an méid seo a leanas a chur ina nionad:
“The State recognises that the provision of care by members of a family, and within the wider community, gives society a support without which the common good cannot be achieved. The State shall, therefore, endeavour to ensure that those who provide required care shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of their essential caring duties.”.
