============================================================

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

I move amendment No. 29:
In page 77, to delete lines 11 to 15 and substitute the following:
“ “(2) (a) Subject to section 13(4), proceedings under Part III may be brought, heard and determined before and by a judge of the Family District Court or the District Court for the time being assigned to the Family District Court district or district court district, as the case may be, where the child resides or is for the time being.
(b) Proceedings under Part IV or VI may be brought, heard and determined before and by a judge of the Family District Court or the Family Circuit Court for the time being assigned to the Family District Court district or Family Circuit Court circuit, as the case may be, where the child resides, has resided or is proposed to reside or is for the time being.”,”.
