The government of Ireland has proposed a new referendum addressing the rights and protection of children. The seven-point amendment includes new adoption clauses.

"The amendment will allow for the adoption of children who have been in care for a substantial period of time... It will also ensure that all children are eligible for voluntary adoption..."

The referendum also provides for strict liability in crimes against children. Read more at Ireland.com.
