Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

Once again I raise the continued persecution of many mothers and some fathers in the course of family law pursuits, in particular the use of the phrase "parental alienation" as a means of ensuring that only one side can win, which is a complete violation of the constitutional rights of mothers and fathers. The abuse continues apace, and I raise it once again because of the urgency of the situation. It cannot continue.
