The Government will move quickly to allow the killer of children to again be named, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said.

Since a landmark ruling in the Court of Appeal last October, the killers of children cannot be named but the ruling has also placed a gagging order on the families of such victims and they have demanded action to allow them speak out again.
