Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I move amendment No. 74:
In page 53, to delete lines 27 to 35 and substitute the following:“(3) For the purposes of subsection (2)(h), the court shall have regard to household violence that has occurred or is likely to occur in the household of the child, or a household in which the child has been or is likely to be present, including the impact or likely impact of such violence on:(a) the safety of the child and other members of the household concerned;
(b) the child’s personal well-being, including the child’s psychological and emotional well-being;
(c) the victim of such violence;
(d) the capacity of the perpetrator of the violence to properly care for the child and the risk, or likely risk, that the perpetrator poses to the child.”.
