Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-21
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I again raise the question of family law reform. I welcome the Taoiseach's outlining of the timeline for that legislation, which is going through the Houses at the moment. However, one issue remains, the issue of those who have become victims of section 47 and similar sections over recent years. This problem still has to be addressed and redress will have to be dealt with because, in some cases, the families are condemned to isolation, sometimes forever, which is grossly unfair. I ask that this be provided for in the legislation.
