I have stated repeatedly in this House that separate family law courts should be considered. Last year or the year before, I attended a conference in Paris on domestic violence. The British system has different domestic violence courts. I will outline the manner in which the Irish District Court is run. The court is called at 10 a.m. and if there are urgent cases that must be heard, which generally pertain to domestic violence or sometimes to children's law and children's rights etc., the District Court judge must hear them. Therefore, despite the provision of separate family law days, which usually comprise a full day once a month in the country jurisdictions, District Court judges are under great pressure to deal with the family law caseload that invariably comes in every morning the court opens. As a result, a judge will not start his or her business until noon. After lunch, if the court breaks for lunch, the judge again returns to urgent family law cases and may spend another hour or so at that. This is causing great frustration among practitioners and I am sure among the Judiciary as well, but most of all for the victims or those who require justice to be heard and done in their cases. I believe Members are missing an opportunity at this point to consider this issue. While I appreciate that much more committee work must be done on this area, I will not allow the opportunity to pass without highlighting this issue.
