Where:       Shirley Arms Hotel, Carrickmacross, Monaghan

When:        Tuesday, 1^st February

Time:         6.30pm

 Cavan/Monaghan general election candidate for Labour, Liam Hogan, has invited Fergus Finlay to Carrickmacross to respond to the Children’s Rights Alliance 2011 scorecard on government actions in the area of children’s services.

The Government has failed to live up to its promises to children for the third year running according to the Children’s Rights Alliance Report Card 2011, which has awarded Government an overall ‘D- grade’ today.  With the General Election now imminent, Alliance Chief Executive, Jillian van Turnhout, calls on political parties to take their responsibilities to children seriously: by developing ambitious commitments to children in their election manifestos and providing strong delivery of a new Programme for Government. 

Fergus Finlay will discuss this important assessment of Government policy for children, taking questions from the audience.

Following this he will officially launch Liam Hogan’s campaign for Labour in Monaghan.
