Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

The intention of the Oireachtas is made clear enough in the measure before the House. These orders lapse after eight working days. I am satisfied the courts will be mindful of their responsibilities to arrange their business in such a way that their orders do not lapse because a hearing within the period of validity is not fixed. With regret I cannot accept these amendments.
