Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I thank the Deputy. It is not my practice to agree to meetings on the floor of the House, and I would encourage anyone who wants a meeting to apply for one or write in and ask for one in the normal way. It would not be fair on others to agree to meetings just because they were raised in the Chamber. I do not think that would be fair to others who do not have someone to raise meetings in the Chamber for them.
The issue of parental alienation has been raised in the House by Deputy Durkan on many occasions and I know Deputy McGrath has raised it too. The Department of Justice has done a report on it, which it will be able to publish quite soon, and the Minister, Deputy Harris, is happy to arrange individual briefings for Deputies and Senators on it if they have an interest in it.
