Great to see this finally being dealt with but seeing as the wording is almost identical to that agreed in January of 2011 why is it only being dealt with now? This should have been run off last year along side all the other referenda.

Surely Sinn Feins legal advisors would only have expertise in criminal rather than Constitutional law?

Here we go. Perhaps its the cynic in me but I am not one bit surprised that Sinn Fein are hedging their bets.

What are the chances that they’ll find some reason to object to this and oppose it? That way they’ll claim to be leading the opposition to the referendum so that they can then get more airtime because both sides on a referendum have to be given equal time?

SF commenting on children’s rights is strange when their history shows us the damage they did to children’s minds and bodies.

The customers in the pub was saying that this is a no brainer, It will be passed. Ps .Not busy today no money or millionaires floating about.

I wonder if this would make it easier for the state to forcefully vaccinate children even if the parents don’t consent to it.
As an adult, you can decide for yourself what medicine to take based on your own understanding of the potential side effects. There are listed side effects for the vaccines which children are currently given and parents are asked to consent to the vaccination and this should not be changed in my view.

Will Sinn Féin be asking why parents are not given the manufactures information for State promoted vaccines so that they can make an informed choice before giving written consent for their child to be vaccinated.

Now try it, you just try to run all that is proposed here without reference to the special case of the Traveller families, you can’t , not even with a solid YES vote on Saturday November 10th – and this is why this referendum is a complete and total Confidence Trick because no legislation that will work , without provision for the Traveller families can actually work, and such provision can’t work either as everybody must be equal under law.
So if Frances Fitzgerald gets her Yes Vote she still cannot legislate as laid out for the purposes of this referendum with no mention of the Travellers anywhere, but even if she now produced legislation to make them exceptions to the rule it can’t be done anyway as we all have to be treated the same under law.
Any or all legal eagles here must by now realise that it is all a Sham and a Confidence Trick of being asked to vote for something that can’t be done without that Traveller exception , that can’t be done either!
Come on the Travellng People your existence has not now only shattered the Government but all Irish political parties in Dail Eireann as well and exposed them all as Fakers and Charlatans.
Thanks for your help, Lads:-)

Are children going to be given the right not to be adopted by same sex couples ?

I totally agree Norman.
