from IOL:

The Coalition Against the Deportation of Irish Children called on justice minister Michael McDowell to respect the rights of the children under the UN Convention.

“Several Irish children have been forced to leave Ireland, others remain here alone, their parents having been deported.

“Their right to retain contact with their parents, guaranteed under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, has been ignored.

“We are calling on the Irish Government to halt this policy of deportations now – to respect the rights of the children under the UN Convention – to treat all children equally irrespective of the race or nationality of their parents, and to act in the best interest of the children.”
