Child maintenance recovery Bill

Summary

Deputy Murphy O'Mahony asked whether heads had been prepared for the international child support recovery Bill. The Taoiseach said they had not and promised a fuller written reply.

My question has to do with the international recovery of child support Bill. As the Taoiseach will be aware, this Bill will implement the Hague Convention and the Hague protocol on the international recovery of child support and other forms of family maintenance from abroad. I have a few constituents, as have many of my colleagues, who are finding it difficult to recover maintenance from persons living abroad. I want to know have the heads of this Bill been prepared yet.

I do not think so. I have not seen the heads and I would have seen them if they had been done. The answer to the Deputy's question is no. I will get a comprehensive answer for the Deputy and reply by correspondence.
