Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
General Scheme of Children and Family Relationships Bill 2014: Discussion
10:40 am
Dr. Geoffrey Shannon:
We have considered this complicated issue and are happy to provide a supplemental submission on it. We have a formula that the committee might consider. Our view is that the least desirable situation is for a child to be without status within the jurisdiction. There are several options that can be considered but they are quite technical in nature and I am conscious that our time is limited today. We are happy to provide some information to the committee on this particular issue.
