Minister for Children Frances Fitzgerald has made a special appeal to students who have long campaigned for a Saturday vote to come out in numbers to back the children’s referendum on November 10th. She launched a new website, childrensreferendum.ie, on Thursday afternoon to help promote the Yes side in the November 10th poll, with the help of some youngsters from St Audeon’s National School in Dublin.
