‹ An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business Family law courts reform
Summary
Deputy Durkan welcomed family law court reform but warned about unfair exclusion from due process and sought a public inquiry. The Taoiseach said he would speak to the Justice Minister and get her response.
I strongly welcome the proposal from the Minister, Deputy McEntee, to reform the family law courts. There is an outstanding issue whereby a mechanism is applied, allegedly to prevent parental alienation, to such an extent that women who are mothers of children are being excluded from due process and natural justice. I ask the Taoiseach to consider the possibility of a public inquiry into the prevailing situation.
