Child support and credit guarantee Bills
Deputy Durkan asks about legislation implementing international child-support recovery and amending credit guarantees; the Tánaiste gives no publication date for either Bill.
I refer to the proposal to introduce the international recovery of child support (Hague Convention) Bill which has been promised and is very important. Its purpose is to regularise and ensure child support is accessible from the point of view of those travelling across Europe. I also inquire about the credit guarantee (amendment) Bill, the purpose of which is to amend the 2012 Act in line with requirements as discerned in the intervening period.
Comment on this
As regards the international recovery of child support (Hague Convention) Bill to implement the Hague Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance, it is not possible at this stage to indicate when the Bill will be published. As yet, there is no date for the publication of the credit guarantee (amendment) Bill.
