James Reilly faces tough questions on children's rights from UN Committee

Children's Minister James Reilly has been facing tough questions from the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in Geneva.

The Children's Rights Alliance says it is disappointed that children living in Direct Provision will not come under the remit of the Children's Ombudsman, but it is welcoming the commitment to closing the loophole on 16- and 17-year-olds getting married.
