9 Click here for Bill THIRTY-FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION (CHILDREN) BILL 2012 Purpose of the Bill EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM The Programme for Government committed to holding a Referendum to amend the Constitution in respect of children. The proposed introduction of dedicated provisions for children is in line with the recommendations of many experts over the years, including the report of the Joint Committee on the Constitutional Amendment on Children (2010) and the report of the All Party Oireachtas Committee on the Constitution (2006). The purpose of the Thirty-first Amendment of the Constitution (Children) Bill 2012 is to expressly recognise children in their own right within the Constitution. Dedicated provisions in our Constitution will give children special protection having regard to their young age and their potential vulnerability. The provisions contained in the Bill will strongly affirm each individual child s inherent rights. The Bill will enshrine and give firmer recognition to the protection of children under the Constitution while continuing to respect and preserve the rights of the family as set out in the existing Article 41. Article 41 which gives special recognition to the family will be retained in full. The main features of the Bill will provide for the strengthening of protections for all children and the provision of express rights; greater clarity in the State s role in protecting children where parents are failing; the making of laws regarding adoption where the parents of a child have either failed in their duty towards that child or wish to voluntarily place the child for adoption; the making of laws regarding consideration of the best interests of the child and the views of the child in proceedings brought by the State to protect any child or proceedings concerning adoption, guardianship, custody of or access to any child; and no discrimination between children based upon the marital status of their parents when it comes to child care proceedings, family law proceedings, access to adoption and consideration of their best interests and views. 2
