As the Deputy will appreciate, matters relating to private family law do not fall within the remit of my Department and are a matter for the Minister for Justice.

The Courts are, subject only to the Constitution and the law, independent in the exercise of their statutory functions and the conduct of any family law case is a matter for the presiding judge. The Courts Service has a dedicated email address for the provision of information to members of the Houses of the Oireachtas: oireachtasenquiries@courts.ie

Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, is the statutory body with responsibility for child protection and welfare services. Tusla has no function in monitoring or enforcing court ordered access visits.
