Although Minister Shatter was asked "the number of such parents that have been sanctioned by the courts in accordance with section 5(2) of the Courts (No. 2) Act 1986 since the introduction of the Act", he simply failed to answer this part of the question, giving rise to the possibility that he wants to keep this information secret as I am unaware of any custodial or residential parents sanctioned as per http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1986/en/act/pub/0026/sec0005.... due to their failure in complying with court orders.
As can be seen from the statistics provided, 111 such applications were granted indicating that 111 parents were found guilty of this criminal offence.
