Tueday's unanimous decision of the Supreme Court shows how the Government has a 'cavalier attitude to the rule of law', said Malachy Steenson, Solicitor and Criminologist and a Campaigner for a No vote in the Children's referendum.

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Frances Fitzgerald TD, has today (Sunday) welcomed the Yes vote in the Children's Referendum, saying that it will "bring about significant change in the way vulnerable children are protected in this country".

Speaking following the successful challenge by Mark McCrystal to the government's Children's referendum campaign, Malachy Steenson, Solicitor and Criminologist said: "Today's decision of the Supreme Court must be respected by the Government, Saturdays Referendum must be called off."

Solicitor and Criminologist Malachy Steenson says the Children's Referendum campaign "shows clearly the unbalanced nature of this State, the entire political establishment backed up by so called Civil Society groups have come together to alter the fundamental law of this State".

Why You Should Vote No
Having trained and gained professional child care qualifications, and then having worked with children in a professional capacity for over 30 years I, like all concerned citizens, obviously want the best for children—and for this reason I will be voting ‘NO’ in the upcoming Children’s referendum.

"An attack on the fundamental rights of the family in the pretence that they will protect children in the future” is the only way to describe the latest 'Children's Referendum' Constitutional Amendment, according to Malachy Steenson, Solicitor and Criminologist.
