Children's Rights Referendum

Sinn Féin is calling for a YES vote in the Children's Rights Referendum. This proposed constitutional change represents an important step forward. Some of the key points are outlined on the right.

It will be the responsibility of Government to deliver on these rights and Sinn Féin will hold them to account.  The education, health and welfare of children will have to be given a greater priority by this and future governments.
