“The Voice of the Child is not heard enough” says Mary O’Rourke TD, the Chair of the Joint Committee on the Constitutional Amendment on Children, in the latest edition of the Children’s Rights Alliance Podcast Series. As well as her formal deliberations as Chair of the Joint Committee, she is also drawing on her own experience as a former teacher, mother and grandmother, and believes that we must listen more to children and is convinced that children’s rights need to be strengthened in the Constitution, calling on Government to commit to setting a date for a referendum.
