This is a motion re a proposal for a recast Council regulation on jurisdiction, the recognition and enforcement of decisions in matrimonial matters and the matters of parental responsibility, and on international child abduction. We will commence our consideration of this motion, which was referred to us by the Dáil on 27 September 2016 and the Seanad on 29 September 2016. I invite the Tánaiste to make her opening statement.
