Realising Children\u2019s Rights \u2013 Human Rights Conference Saturday 14th October 2006<\/p>\n

Achieving Rights Based Child Law is the theme of tomorrow\u2019s public conference organised by the Irish Human Rights Commission and the Law Society of Ireland in association with the Ombudsman for Children. Speaking on the rationale for the conference, President of the Law Society, Michael Irvine, noted the significant administrative changes underway in the HSE, the new Youth Justice Unit and the Probation Service. The challenge they face in incorporating children\u2019s rights into their systems is a major focus of the conference.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe theme of this year\u2019s conference is timely in view of the significant legislative changes under discussion by the Government and also in view of the very recent substantive recommendations for reform made by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child before which Ireland appeared last September\u201d stated the Chief Executive of the IHRC, Dr. Alpha Connelly.<\/p>\n

The Ombudsman for Children stated \u201csince the establishment of the Ombudsman for Children\u2019s Office, I have been heartened by the growing momentum in Ireland to put children\u2019s rights on the agenda. The growing national and international consensus for the way we should treat children means that we are moving towards a place where children\u2019s rights are genuinely respected. I am delighted to be associated with today\u2019s conference.<\/p>\n

\u201d Amongst the speakers at tomorrow\u2019s conference will be Mr, Justice John McMenamin of the High Court, The Hon. Mr. Justice John Gillen, Head of Family Law, Northern Ireland; Prof. Sheila Greene, Director of Children\u2019s Research Centre, Trinity College, Dublin; Michelle Shannon, National Director of the Youth Justice Unit; Michael Donnellan, Director of the Probation Service, and Ursula Kilkelly, UCC.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The conference is open to the public. Spokespersons are available for interview.<\/p>\n
