The Convention on the Constitution has voted to recommend that the offence of blasphemy in the Constitution be changed and replaced with a new provision to include incitement to religious hatred.
However, it voted by a majority of just 1% against continuing to criminalise blasphemy.
Instead, it favoured the adoption of a new set of detailed legislative provisions to include incitement to religious hatred.
The Government has committed to holding an Oireachtas debate on the recommendations within four months.
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties has welcomed the recommendation.
The ICCL appeared before the Convention yesterday and said Ireland's existing blasphemy provisions are a "domestic irrelevance and an international embarrassment".
Sinn Féin called on the Government to move swiftly to implement the Convention's recommendations.
