Men will have a vote so why not a place in the 8th Amendment?

Democratic and informed debate is predicated on all sides and all viewpoints being able to make their point freely and that is why Fathers4Justice have launched a campaign calling for the Eighth Amendment to be changed to reflect what they view as the unrecognised rights of fathers in the constitution, argues the group's International Campaign Co-Ordinator, Nadine O'Connor. 

I read with great sadness Suzanne Harrington’s recent comment piece in the Irish Examiner in which she argued - among other things - that a new Fathers4Justice campaign around the Eighth Amendment was completely ill-conceived and one through which men were acting out 'private psychodramas on the side of our public buses'

I will come to Ms Harrington's arguments in time but first let me explain who I am.
