From my own knowledge and from what we have heard so far, many parents find the difficulty in the lacuna when they come back to Ireland with their child, as there are no rights attaching to the mother and there is a two-year plus waiting period. Are there better ways we can approach that in a more timely fashion so that a child and a mother are not left without rights for two or three years? Could we address the situation in a speedier fashion within the family law system?
