Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I raise the question as to whether it might be possible to ensure that the rule of law is fully extended to the operation of the family law courts. At present they are held in secret. A flawed theory is used to remove children from their natural mother and place them in the hands of the respondent. This is a general point, with very serious consequences.
