RNU Denounces Baggot

Preas Ráiteas ó RNU/RNU Press Release

A Chara,

The Republican Network for Unity (RNU) denounces a call by PSNI Chief, Matt Baggot in which he encourages Irish children to become informers and betray their relatives.

One of the most crucial aspects of a child's life is to have a loving and safe family. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). When children's rights were formally recognised and safeguarded under international law. Surely, it is against a child's basic right to be asked to inform on their mothers and fathers?

Therefore, RNU call upon the North's Children's Commissioner, Human Rights Groups and Politicians’ to investigate Mr. Baggot's comments to exploit children.

Is Mise,
