Minister Shatter informs us that "family law proceedings in the courts are held in camera" but then goes on to say that
"Under the law as it stands the giving of false evidence in any court proceedings, including family law proceedings, is an offence punishable by imprisonment. Any person who has knowledge of such false allegations should bring them to the attention of An Garda Siochana".
Anyone who reports the giving of false evidence in family law proceedings to An Garda Siochana would be in breach of the "In Camera" rule to which the Minister referred and could be imprisoned themselves.
