The Child and Family Relationship Bill which I understand will be brought before the House next week acknowledges the new composition and make-up of families in Ireland versus the traditional family. When will the family court Bill, to reform our family courts and to provide for a consistent approach by them in ensuring the best interests of children are taken into account at all times, be published?

I do not have a date for the Deputy, but the groundwork is being done on it. The Child and Family Relationships Bill will be the subject of discussion on Second Stage next week. I can advise the Deputy in due course on the extent of progress made in the preparation of the Bill on the family law courts.
