Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Reform of the Family Law System: Discussion
Dr. Keith Walsh:
There is also something called a McKenzie friend which is somebody who may be able to assist a person. There is a provision for that and a potential for that but the difficulty is around what the effect on the other person is if one is bringing in friends or relations. There is a balance that a judge would have to strike in those types of proceedings as to how they can deal with the in camerarule and how they will enforce it.
