Parental alienation is where children are kept for long periods from meeting one or other of their parents, during which time it is suggested that they may be subjected to immersion therapy, a practice that is illegal and banned everywhere except where prisoners of war have been victims of it. Will the Taoiseach confirm that no such acts have taken place and no children have been subjected to this so-called corrective therapy or, if there have been, that those instances will be publicised?

Thanks, Deputy Durkan. Unfortunately, I cannot do that because I do not have that level of knowledge. I acknowledge that the Deputy has raised the issue of what he calls parental alienation on a very regular basis. What I know is that the Minister for Justice has just completed and published a very substantial piece of work in respect of how our family courts operate and how the voices and rights of children are at the centre of all that happens. This is a piece of work that I know the Deputy welcomes. The key will be implementing its recommendations. I will ask the Minister, Deputy McEntee, to revert to Deputy Durkan.

I thank the Taoiseach.
