Family Law Cases

Aindrias Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

I thank the Minister of State. I might briefly move to the issue of the Circuit Court, where, for example, divorce proceedings are heard and where there tends to be some time spent waiting for those hearings to be held. Some of that might be down to adjournments but, despite that, people still often have to wait a considerable number of years for the case to go through. Having a dedicated court would allow for those lists to be processed faster and would give people an opportunity to complete their business and move on with their lives sooner. If there is any indication of a timeline for when that might be able to be progressed, the Minister of State might outline it. I understand it is a priority for him and that great energy will be put into bringing it about.
