Seanad: Civil Liability and Courts Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages. (15 Jun 2004)

Mary Henry: I second the amendment. I am quite sure the Minister is as concerned as we are to ensure there should be nothing voyeuristic about attendance at family law cases. It is the concern of all of us to allow a body of jurisprudence on family law to be built up to give judges, barristers and solicitors an idea of what each is doing. We must also ensure the public realises how serious some of these...

I thank the Minister for...
