Rights of child move could pave way for adoptions
The Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Constitutional Amendment on Children published its proposed wording yesterday, with some Committee members asking for a referendum on the issue to be held as early as this summer.
The third and final report published by the Joint Committee includes recommendations that would allow the children of a married couple to be adopted by another family, and also states that the threshold for state intervention is identical for children of marital and non-marital families.
