Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
General Scheme of Children and Family Relationships Bill 2014: Discussion
10:40 am
Dr. Geoffrey Shannon:
There must be both a national and a multilateral approach. It is not just a question for this legislation. It is an issue that troubles many jurisdictions and needs to be dealt with at an international level. The starting point might be a general provision within the context of this legislation. I understand the Hague conference is dealing with this issue and I am happy to provide the committee with observations on that front.
