'They Never Mention The Content' - Jana Lunden

Jana Lunden of the Natural Women's Council reacts to the President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins' remarks about library protests against graphic sexual content in children's books.
On June 16, 2024, President Higgins said that protecting libraries and their staff from 'intimidation from protests by far-right groups' is 'not just a matter for the Gardaí, but for all' of society.

In response, child protection campaigner Jana Lunden told Aisling O'Loughlin: "They never mention that the content of these books is in serious violation of the Children First Act 2015 which states that showing sexually explicit material to children is often a feature of the grooming process by perpetrators of abuse".
Jana says the powers that be can't say "they don't know because we have spent the last year and a half writing to TDs, Senators, Ministers, Tusla, Children's Books of Ireland, An Garda Síochána and every mainstream outlet".
