Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

Will the Minister expand on the last point he made about the nature of the review? I invite him to comment on a recent judgment of Mr. Justice McKechnie in the High Court wherein he called for a review of the law on fathers' rights. One child in three in this country is born to unmarried parents and it is timely that matters would be reviewed having regard to the fact that, in law, the father does not have any automatic rights.
