She explains why the event is taking place.

"It's a peaceful march and what we are trying to do is to get the HSE to listen that enough is enough."

"The waiting lists for services are too long and we are trying to get services improved for children across the country."

"Even if you're not a parent and you're available to  come out and march, please do."
