Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Wards of Court: Discussion
9:00 am
Ms Mary Farrell:
That is part of the same thing because until all of this is in place, the UN convention will not be ratified. It has been signed, but we have been waiting years for it to be ratified. People demonstrated outside the Houses yesterday about that. We have all protested about that and have said it is disgraceful that it has not been ratified. We are all disappointed. Ratification is very important to the people we care about and to us.
