I again bring to the attention of the House the urgent need for reform in respect of family law. To what extent are procedures in hand to accelerate reform through the House? I bring to the attention of the House the fact that expert witnesses in that area have been questioned in the past and seem to have taken upon themselves the role of the whole administration of family law. What is the progress in respect of the promised reforms?

In fairness to the Deputy, he has consistently raised this issue. I do not know if he has met the Minister for Justice or the Attorney General on the topic. It might be useful for him to talk to them.

I have met both.

There are separation of powers considerations in respect of how the judicial arm conducts itself. We observe that separation. If there is a legislative dimension to the issue, the Minister would meet the Deputy and seek the advice of the Attorney General.
