Its a change that needs to made. Unless of course, we are all ok with these things not being changed.

My point was, this was one of hundreds of archaic laws which had basically been forgotten about, and not being used in prosecutions, suddenly being updated to being prosecutable for all religions. This to me was a step backwards and gave people the idea they could take blasphemy cases against people, thus reducing our freedom of speech.

Bring on that referendum
Following a broadcast of ‘The Meaning of Life’, hosted by Gay Byrne, in February 2015, a member of the public reported Stephen Fry’s to Ennis garda station for comments that he felt breached blasphemy law. There is a max fine of up to 25k. There was an investigation and it was dropped due to no public outcry .....Bring on that referendum

Do some research When formulating his new Church of England's doctrines in the 1530s, Henry VIII made it an offence to say or print any opinion that contradicted the Six Articles (1539). Blasphemy was also used as a legal instrument to persecute atheists, Unitarians, and others.[citation needed] Ever since 1838, blasphemy was considered to be only a crime against beliefs of the Church of England.(Wiki)
