Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I thank the witnesses for coming in. It has been very useful for us. As I do not want to repeat points previously made, my questions might be a bit eclectic, but I ask people to bear with me. Following what Deputy O'Callaghan said, I wish to ask Dr. Burns about the in camerarule. His account of the chilling effect would be akin to mine and he said it impacted on his research. I have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: We would need a combination of those measures to meaningfully reform thein camerasituation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: Obviously resources form part of that. I am still stressed and depressed after listening to Dr. Lord's account of a visit to the courts. It resonated with all of us; we felt what somebody would go through in being there. Further to a point FLAC made, even though it is important to address the issues relating to the physical structures and the immediate changes we can make, Dr. Burns said...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: A key aspect of this is that if we put the voice of the child centre stage, that can be a key plank in reforming the family law situation. I am intrigued by some points that Dr. Shannon made. He indicated that the binary nature of family processes is problematic for complex family situations and that children often want flexibility in arrangements that the system does not allow them to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: It is. For our report, we would look to suggest something radical because the problem here has been that, exactly as Dr. Shannon says, this has been debated for decades. Many good recommendations have been made but there has been no implementation of them. People either did not bother with them, could not care less or it is part of a deeper cultural problem, which is the direction in which...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I have a couple of concluding points. I seem to be picking on Mr. Shannon but his contribution has been really useful and feeds into everything we are considering here. I am not sure if Dr. Shannon and Mr. Burns are contradicting each other but Dr. Shannon stated that judges have to set firm timetables for cases and so on. He also stated that the process should be child-focused and that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: What is the best way of doing that? Are we talking about an amendment to our family law legislation or a provision added to the Judicial Council Bill? How would we do that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: Mr. Burns mentioned decision makers with specialist knowledge who are not judges being involved in this area. How would that work?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: That is a very interesting idea. My final question is on the breach of care orders, an issue that came up earlier and which was also referred to at last week's meeting by Dr. Róisín O'Shea. It is quite shocking that care orders on access are being ignored and no sanctions are being applied. What sanctions do our guests think should apply? We discussed the issue last week in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: My understanding last week was that Dr. Róisín O'Shea had said that there was already a sanction but that it was not imposed because people did not know, if orders were breached, that they could apply to have a sanction imposed. Perhaps I got it wrong.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I certainly was not taking the point in isolation. It was very much in the context of everything else, but it was an issue that had been raised previously. It is an existing provision that is being ignored. It is also damaging to the children involved if their voices are not being heard, but it could equally be the other way around. The kid could be saying he or she wants to go but is...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Food Exports to Iran (26 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I am glad to hear the Minister's strong statement that this is a significant market, one that he would like to open. That must be said. However, he appears to be suggesting the problem lies with the farming organisations. Is it not the case that they, too, are very keen to ensure the important Iranian market is seen as part of the solution to the problem of overproduction here? The...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I do not know why the Minister could not have said that in the first past of his response but that is what we were looking for. We had an agreement with the officials in the discussions between Committee Stage and this debate. We recognise that the Minister was attempting to address a gap whereby a person could not contact the competent authority but, in doing that, he left out the bit...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: Is the Minister not going to respond to that? My understanding is that this is linked to other points related to appeals in these scenarios. The Minister should really clarify the position because-----
