Social policy context and social care in Ireland

In Ireland the establishment of the Free State in 1921, has shown an influence in shaping the government's policy is based on a set of values ??rooted in the patriarchal rural life and also left class discrimination and inequality between men and women in their place.

"The leader speaks for the state as fully equal, not as a secondary or in any way dependent on, or drawing power from the state"

He said Pope Pius XI (1931), the administration felt it had equal authority in matters of ethics and social issues. The administration has acquired so much power in Ireland through a variety of ways, including support for its bid for Irish independence, strength of faith of the Irish population (the majority of whom were practicing Catholic) and through the practice of the government of subsidiary (especially in social sectors such as women, children, healthcare and education).
