The mediation Bill is promised legislation. Could I ask the Tánaiste when it is expected to bring it before the House and if the heads of the Bill have been cleared?

Comment on this

That is important legislation which would be very helpful to many couples in this country and would ensure people do not have to take on high legal costs and get involved in adversarial court appearances. I hope to be in a position to publish the Bill next term.
