Enforcement of Court Orders (Amendment) Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages
John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)
I understand the Deputy's concern. I have sought advice on this proposal and I am informed it is unnecessary. A District Court judge may hear the evidence on oath and the debtor is subject to cross-examination in the ordinary course of proceedings in the District Court. There is no necessity to provide for this directly and, accordingly, the amendment is being rejected.
