Greens push for vote on children’s rights

THE Greens have floated the idea of a different referendum being held on election day — the long-delayed referendum on children’s rights.

Much of the political focus recently has been on a proposal to hold a referendum proposing the abolition of the Seanad.

The Cabinet is due to consider the possibility of holding the Seanad referendum on the same day as the election, which will likely be in March.
