The Tánaiste Mary Coughlan has accused the Opposition of playing politics with the issue of a Children's Rights Referendum.

Ms Coughlan has come under fire in the Dáil over when the referendum would take place.

She said the Government still has to make up its mind on the date, but Labour leader Eamon Gilmore said the Government is "running scared" on the issue.
