Just "something"? About 3/4th's of it... Ouch. Can't be good for the economy.

Well, at least the government is not obliged to carry it out in practice:

The principles of social policy set forth in this Article are intended for the general guidance of the Oireachtas. The application of those principles in the making of laws shall be the care of the Oireachtas exclusively, and shall not be cognisable by any Court under any of the provisions of this Constitution.

Oireachtas = Parliment.

But, I do think it should be dropped, just in case...
