Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The Deputy has been very consistent on this, and I appreciate his work. People might not have been as aware of the phenomenon without it. I have become increasingly aware of it and I will talk to the Minister for Justice. We need to reflect on the trend the Deputy has identified, which can result in a significant denial of access and rights. From a more holistic perspective in respect of children, parents and families, we do need to reflect on this. I thank the Deputy for his consistency in raising this issue and I appreciate it. He has been a lone voice in the House on it.
