Reminds me of the time a court ruling made hard drugs legal in Ireland. The legislature fixed the law in a matter of hours.

That wasn’t on a constitutional issue, though. In 1992, the Irish Supreme Court found that there was a right to abortion where a person was suicidal (at the time abortion was generally illegal in Ireland), on a constitutional basis. The government attempted to amend the constitution by referendum to remove this, but that failed.
