- Family Courts Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

- Family Courts Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)
Helen McEntee: I thank the Ceann Comhairle. I think there is unanimity. I thank colleagues for the general broad support for the Bill. As I have said many times before, the overall objective of the Bill is to make sure that we can, insofar as possible, make what is often the most difficult time a family will go through that little bit easier by putting in place these structures, making our family courts...

- Family Courts Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)
Pa Daly: As the Minister said, we are mostly dealing with technical amendments here and we will support this Bill. Legal reform and the construction of a dedicated family law court for Dublin are important but any credible family law plan must go further with supports and maybe the Minister should take a White Paper approach to the whole Bill. Not every issue before the courts can be addressed at...
- Family Courts Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)
Mattie McGrath: I too welcome any efforts made to reform the family law courts. Courthouses like those in Clonmel, Tipperary and Nenagh do not have the facilities for separation of families from criminal law, so they are all in the one building. That does not make for good, pleasant or easy management for anybody, but most importantly for the family. The Minister will say I am always critical but I...

Michael Healy-Rae: There is no time as good as the present for gauging public opinion. I have been canvassing and knocking on people's doors and meeting them in their places of work. The one thing that is coming back - I am sure the Minister will be very interested in this, and I presume he is hearing it himself - is that people can pick good and bad out of the budget but the one thing that an awful lot of...
