This constructive dialogue is taking place in Geneva on Tuesday 24<sup>th<\/sup> and Wednesday 25<sup>th<\/sup> January.<\/p>\n<p>The OCO anticipates that the Committee will address a range of issues raised by the OCO in two reports submitted to the Committee in August 2022: <em>Pieces of Us<\/em>, a report by children living in Ireland, and a report by the OCO. Both reports make recommendations about actions that need to be taken to strengthen Ireland\u2019s protection and implementation of children\u2019s rights in a diverse range of areas.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking ahead of the constructive dialogue, the Ombudsman for Children Dr Niall Muldoon said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe constructive dialogue taking place in Geneva this week is extremely important. The Committee\u2019s examination of Ireland\u2019s progress to implement children\u2019s rights under the CRC is a valuable opportunity for the State to engage with international children\u2019s rights experts and to harness the Committee\u2019s expertise to drive improvements in children\u2019s lives. This opportunity only comes around once every six years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo overall areas of concern underlie the OCO\u2019s report to the Committee:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Delays and shortfalls in measures taken by the State to mainstream children\u2019s rights, including measures to strengthen legislation, interagency coordination, data collection, resource allocation, and awareness raising and training<\/li>\n<li>Persistent barriers that particular groups of children in Ireland face to enjoying their rights on an equal basis with other children, including children in poverty, children in care, children in the child justice system, children with disabilities, asylum-seeking and refugee children, Traveller children, Roma children, LGBTQI+ children, children with mental health difficulties and homeless children.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that the Committee will press the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, along with his officials, for details on how the State is proposing to <em>effectively<\/em> address these two longstanding issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also hope that the Committee will specifically ask the Minister about the issues raised by children in <em>Pieces of Us<\/em>, which heard from over 5,500 children between 2 and 17 years of age. Children are particularly concerned about the issue of equality and discrimination, including racism, homophobia and transphobia. They are frustrated and disappointed with health services, particularly mental health services. They are concerned about long waiting lists and inadequate services. They also talked about the need for changes in education, including the need for exam reform, the impact of bullying in schools and the supports they would like to see provided in schools to help them thrive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we note in the OCO\u2019s report, there have been positive developments since the Committee last examined Ireland in 2016, most recently plans to establish a new Child Poverty Unit, which were announced by the Taoiseach in December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, this constructive dialogue presents a vital opportunity for the State to leverage the Committee\u2019s expertise to pursue further actions to ensure that all decisions and actions affecting children are child-centred and rights based.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes to Editors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dr Muldoon and representatives from the OCO are in Geneva to attend the constructive dialogue between the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child and the Irish State on 24 and 25 January 2023.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Pieces of Us report and OCO\u2019s alternative report to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child can be found here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/email.mediahq.com\/ls\/click?upn=dzys9oEMACnhhrfSbxnCNOwCGAzSP79lW3sin-2FrAm3rs7fjy1iidSZdeOLaKHspvrUxiCqke4cvLVa1lmJND-2B2mHxjWwhdUgyE-2BpUe9LDwuVRdQbfg1N-2BL5PsTYU57FWl9i70X8jCKo54qfDUBVbl-2FHZbeAqDJzaa0S1btKrVgB60jqRwGQEO9K12fnLLpGWA-lq_uYQHF8TvirnnFyK0vGsj-2FuFTKWzR38kMaeckLoHOpqXvI7ErbDWmrYwd4UcEoXEaIOTh6-2BhRatgFjO6DcCrcOuEZXc08TEDUHk3z60AEpJh7-2BM3QVFip8qbEcgdl4IF-2BcWdx5tcC7Eo2TfdWlVFgBGkC56CihXaeIwslZ0C-2F-2Br0u1qFtR3OT0tSo-2B-2FjkFBEZhPDI7wTcdP-2BuvUaJG-2FDb-2Fg-3D-3D\">https:\/\/www.oco.ie\/news\/ombudsman-for-childrens-office-submits-two-major-reports-to-un-committee-on-the-rights-of-the-child\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Aoife Carragher<br \/>\nOCO Head of Communications<br \/>\n087 1484173\/ <a href=\"mailto:aoife.carragher@oco.ie\">aoife.carragher@oco.ie<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ombudsman for Children, Dr Niall Muldoon, along with representatives from the Ombudsman for Children\u2019s Office (OCO), will attend the constructive dialogue between the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (Committee) and the Irish <a class=\"read_more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oco.ie\/ga\/news\/un-committee-on-the-rights-of-the-child-to-question-the-minister-for-children-about-progress-and-shortfalls-in-fulfilling-childrens-rights-ombudsman-for-childrens-office\/\">&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","type-press-release","topic-child-protection"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
