Any such amendment would have to be adopted at a referendum of all citizens who are entitled to vote in parliamentary elections.
The proposed amendment (if there is one) would overturn the Supreme Court’s decision in CC v Ireland [2006] IESC 33 (23 May 2006).
You can find the arguments for such an amendment set out in the Report of the Committee on Child Protection (November 2006) – a report by a group of TDs and Senators.
