In developing proposals for a Family Law Bill to meet the commitment in the Programme for Government to modernise and reform aspects of family law, my Department is reviewing the operation of the in camera rule in family law cases. Interested parties will be consulted in the matter. In relation to the Bill generally, proposals are being advanced as quickly as possible, subject to the disposal of other priorities.

Why can Alan Shatter not let the public know when this "consultation" is taking place?
Will he publish a small ad in the advertisement pages of a newspaper that nobody reads or will he contact "interested parties"?
Does he even know of "interested parties"?
