Why I will vote no in children’s referendum

The Children’s Referendum is a misnomer.

It is and should be re-named a Referendum for the Transfer of the Rights of Parents (married and unmarried) to the State and State Agents.

The Irish constitution as it stands offers far more rights to children and to every citizen than any constitution or international convention in the world. Former Attorney General and Tánaiste, now an eminent senior counsel, confirmed this to the Law Society in 2002.
