Plight of fathers ignored, say protesters

THE plight of unmarried and separated fathers has not changed since the time the hit film Evelyn was set — some 50 years ago.

Fathers fighting for access to their children said the Pierce Brosnan film, depicting a father's fight to reunite his family, still reflected reality.

“Evelyn, Pierce Brosnan’s new film, that was 50 years ago. We still have the same problems today. Why? Because the Irish Government has ignored us,” said Ray Kelly of Unmarried Fathers of Ireland.
