The Minister points out that "Section 6 of the Guardianship of Infants Act 1964 as amended confers guardianship of the child of married parents on both parents jointly" but goes on to claim that "it may not always be practical for both parents to consent to each and every decision made about the child's upbringing"!However, the Minister is well aware of recent
Equality Tribunal cases http://equalityforfathersinireland.webs.com/equalitytribunal... which indicate the widespread failure of State authorities to respect the right of children to have both Guardians act on their behalf jointly, even when it IS practical.
