High Court Dismisses Children's Referendum Challenge
A High Court challenged seeking to overturn the result of the Children's Referendum has been dismissed by the court.
Joanna Jordan of St Kevin's Villas, Glenageary, Co Dublin, brought the action arguing that the government use of public money to fund an unbalanced information campaign had materially affected the outcome of the referendum.
The challenge followed a Supreme Court ruling that the government's information campaign was not fair, equal or impartial.
