PARENTS, relatives and friends of children withย autismย and other difficulties are being asked to join the ‘March For Our Children’ in Limerick this coming Monday.
Marching under the slogan “Enough is enough,” the protest aims to raise awareness and to highlight the lack of facilities for children. The Limerick march will be one of many being organised nationwide and takes place on April 3.
Protestors will hand in a petition with almost 7,000 signatures to the offices of theย HSEย at the end of the march.
Said Emma Fennell, one of the organisers and herself the mother of a child withย autism, “we would really askย everyoneย who can make it to come put and march because many of the parents and children affected will not be able to march themselves. This is something which no-one everย thinksย will affect them and then it does. It could be your child, your grandchild, a niece or aย nephewย butย autismย and disability affects and touches the lives of so many people”.
The march will makeย its wayย on the footpath “so as not to cause anyย disruptionย to traffic,” Emma said.
