Teresa Heeney, Chief Operations Officer, Early Childhood Ireland says:  “As the representative group for over 80% of preschools and day care centres supporting over 80,000 children nationwide, Early Childhood Ireland welcomes the announcement today that the Children’s Rights Referendum will take place in the autumn.  This referendum is already high on the agenda of our regional meetings taking place throughout June where we invite childcare professionals as well as parents and all those interested in shaping the lives of young children in Ireland to voice their concerns and suggestions and help us to shape Ireland’s first National Early Years strategy.”
