The Law Society has nominated
Finian
Brannigan,
Solicitor, Co. Louth, to be
its representative on the newly-formed
Campaign for the Care of Deprived
Children (CARE). The Campaign is a
coalition of professional groups
working in areas related to the welfare
of children and the juvenile justice
system and has been established in the
context of a new Juvenile Justice Bill
and the implementation of the UN
Convention on the Rights of the Child.
CARE says that there is a need for co-
ordinated policy and planning from
three Government Departments,
Justice, Health and Education, with
regard to the needs of children. The
groups hopes to obtain the views of
professionals who work with children
about the adequacy of services
focusing on juvenile justice and how
children's rights and needs can be
promoted and protected in the criminal
justice system.
Members of the profession who have
views on these matters are invited to
forward them to the Criminal Law
Committee of the Society or to Finian
Brannigan at 16 Fair Street, Drogheda,
Co. Louth.
