Yes very recent, there were dissenters too, so not everyone was in agreement therefore it's safe to say there are those who still have an out moded view.
Not everyone in the republic is enlightened, not everyone here (Britain) is either.
Whether or not we have legislation in place, that's just paper..it's nice just to be able to shine a light on some reasons for the slower transition I'd say.
