Child protection submissions deadline extended
Submissions on a wide range of child protection issues will now be accepted up to tomorrow week, Thursday, August 31. The original deadline was advertised in newspaper notices on July 24 and expired last weekend.
The extension was granted following pleas by Monica Rowe, the Dublin mother behind this summer’s protests over the child rape law crisis that led to the special committee being set up. She welcomed the extension but said it did not go far enough.
