One of the priorities of the Programme for Government is to hold a referendum to amend the Constitution to ensure that children's rights are strengthened, along the lines recommended by the All-Party Oireachtas committee. The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs is currently considering this issue, with the Attorney General, and will bring it to Government in the coming months. A specific date for the Referendum has not yet been agreed.
