Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Minister had a brief word with me on this issue today. I understand she is due to receive a report next week and hopes to be then in a position to better update the Deputy. This is an issue we take seriously in terms how the rights of children are protected and how the family courts are transparent, accessible and child and family-friendly. A significant area of reform is underway with regard to this. I will ask the Minister to update the Deputy next week.
