Defending our right to protect our children

This referendum is not about protecting children. That is a smokescreen to blind us to the real agenda, says Richard Greene

Many people still have little idea what they are being asked to vote on this Saturday. That is no accident. It is part of the strategy of the Government and the media, particularly RTÉ, to keep voters ignorant about the real issues. They are afraid that if voters, especially parents and grandparents, knew what is really at issue here, they would be outraged by it.

First, we have to grasp that this referendum is not about protecting vulnerable children. That is really a smokescreen to blind voters to the real agenda.
