Joan Collins

Question:

124. Deputy Joan Collins asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the measures and systems in place to restrict children travelling from Ireland, who are restricted from doing so by family court orders without the permission of the second parent or guardian, in particular to the UK where a passport is not a requirement for entry. [53870/12]

Written answers

Under the Passport Act 2008 the Minister for Foreign Affairs must be satisfied before issuing a passport to a child that each person who is a guardian of the child consents to the issue of a passport to the child. The enforcement of court orders preventing travel from the state in circumstances where a passport is not required is a matter for my colleague the Minister for Justice and Equality.
