Childrens referendum challenge adjourned for a week

A challenge against the State's alleged use of more than €1.1m of public money on an information campaign about the Children's Referendum will be heard by the High Court early next week.

The action has been brought by Mr Mark McCrystal who claims the Government has been using information in its information campaign that is not neutral and is designed, intended and likely to promote a yes vote in the November 10 referendum.
