Family law courts referendum

Summary

Deputy Collins asks for the timetable for a family-law-courts referendum and associated legislation; the Minister disputes that a Government commitment has been made, and the Chair says no legislation is promised.

It was announced some time ago that the Government had taken a decision in principle to hold a referendum to establish family law courts. What is the timeline on that and the associated legislation?

Comment on this

I am not sure if it was announced but it might have been announced on the Deputy's side by somebody who thought Fianna Fáil was still in government.
