IPA, through Brian O’Toole, Justice Contact, England and Ireland, worked with a coalition of faith-based organisations on the Irish Submission to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The coalition comprised Our Lady of Apostles, Edmund Rice International, the Presentation Brothers, Cork Migrant Centre (a Presentation Ministry) and the Society of African Missions as well as the IPA.
They also received support and input from local grassroots groups, as well as from national and international civil society organisations. This detailed joint submission relates to five areas of concern.
