There is already a significant body of legislation in this regard. http://oireachtasdebates.oireachtas.ie/Debates%20Authoring/DebatesWebPack.nsf/takes/seanad2012091900014?opendocument Dáil Éireann: Order of Business (Continued) 19/09/2012: Deputy Micheál Martin: the decision to hold a referendum to insert in the Constitution an amendment on the rights of children.

Yesterday the Taoiseach announced a referendum to protect children.

I also welcome the broader debate that is taking place on the protection of children. There has been a lot of talk about protecting the rights of children but we need to make this a reality by ending the suffering and nightmares for the children who are being damaged as I speak tonight.

The Bill will be complimented by a new provision in the Constitution if the people decide to pass the children's rights referendum. We published the wording of the referendum yesterday and it was good to see it broadly welcomed by all sectors. It is a positive start to see such support and hopefully it will translate into a "Yes" vote on Saturday, 10 November. http://oireachtasdebates.oireachtas.ie/Debates%20Authoring/DebatesWebPack.nsf/takes/dail2012092000025?opendocument Dáil Éireann Topical Issue Matters 19/09/2012: Minister for Social Protection (Deputy Joan I hope this week will be remembered as a week in which the Government put the needs and safety of children at the heart of Government policy.
