Cllr Keith Martin is urging a YES vote in the upcoming Children's Referendum.
According to Cllr Martin "A Children's referendum was a key commitment in Labour's Manifesto, and when we go to the polls on Saturday November 10, we will have the opportunity to state clearly and unequivocally that the Irish people value children and childhood, that children have a right to be cared for and protected, and that they should not be silenced or side-lined."
It will mean that Children will be recognised in their own right
It will provide an express statement of rights for all children in our constitution
It will make all children equal in the eyes of the law
It will give children a say on their future care
It will require Courts to listen to the child's view and to consider their best interests
Vote YES
