Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 April 2022
551. Deputy Cormac Devlin asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if the case of a person (details supplied) has been brought to his attention; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17622/22]
View answerAs 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.
