Family Courts Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2024-10-02
============================================================

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

I am happy to look at that. My understanding is that the specific section on the penalties restates the provisions of section 40 of the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004 and that is why it is here but I take the Senator's point. We want to make sure that what is in the Bill is effective and that it acts as a deterrent, as well as everything else. I will take on board what the Senator is saying and take it into consideration.
