I have one final point for One Family. I thank its representatives for their work on the child contact centres. Anybody with any experience in child law in the District and Circuit Courts would be aware of the need for this sort of arrangement. Is Ms Kiernan saying there should be some provisions specifically in the legislation for such contact centres? Head 58 reproduces the section 47 reports, and I know that the Law Society is very critical of problems with them. Those reports can be very helpful to the court. The difficulty is with the ad hoc arrangements currently in place and the fact that the parties have to fund them themselves. Head 58 still provides for that. How can head 58 be improved upon to address the difficulties Ms Kiernan suggested?
