OCO submission on Family Courts Bill

The OCO has made a submission on the Family Courts Bill 2022. The OCO previously expressed the view, and continues to hold the view, that reform of the family justice system is long overdue.

In our submission to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in 2022, we noted that the current family justice system is not child-friendly, and has not been designed with children in mind. The OCO therefore welcomes the publication of the Family Courts Bill (the Bill), as it represents the foundation to establish a specialized family court system in Ireland, and is an important step in the realization of the commitments and overall vision of the Family Justice Strategy 2022-2025.
