Divorce in Ireland may be facing a complete overhaul.
The Government is planning to hold a referendum next year on whether or not to reduce the amount of time a couple have to be living apart before the marriage can be dissolved.
The proposal to shorten the period from 4 out of 5 years to 2 out of 3 years still requires Oireachtas approval.
Assistant Professor of Constitutional Law at Trinity College Dublin, David Kenny, says the Government may also look at making other changes.
