Mon 02 Feb 2010Text of child rights plebiscite agreed
THE PROPOSED wording for a referendum on children’s rights has been unanimously agreed by the all-party Committee on the Constitution, which will launch its final report tomorrow.
Chairwoman of the committee Mary O’Rourke said the 120-page report contains, as well as the wording, all the information surrounding how agreement was reached. Unanimity will facilitate the holding of a referendum, but Ms O’Rourke said it was up to the Cabinet to agree to hold a referendum and set a date. The committee’s mandate was to reach a consensus on wording.
