Parents who are still not allowed to publicly speak about their murdered children are being "re-traumatised".
That's according to Kathleen Chada, whose sons Eoghan and Ruairí were murdered by their father Sanjeev Chada in 2013.
The Children's Act was amended yesterday and a ban on identifying child victims of violent crime was lifted.
It will also permit the media to name people accused of killing those aged under 18, and permit parents to speak publicly about their murdered children.
However, there are several cases subject to separate legal orders that prevent parents from speaking freely.
Kathleen was not able to speak about her children in the media until the amendment to the legislation came into effect yesterday.
