Deciding officers have certain powers under the Social Welfare Acts and are required to act in a certain way. I sympathise with the Deputy in the context of the complexity of the case. As is the position in all separations where issues arise, it would be ideal if the parents could reach an agreement that would be in the best interests of their child.
