Launch of In-Camera Research Report by Minister for Justice
A new comprehensive report by a joint UCC and TCD research team on behalf of the Department of Justice was launched by the Minister for Justice at the recent Family Justice Development Forum in Dublin.
The new research provides groundbreaking evidence based on the operation of the in camera rule in family law proceedings (private and public) in Ireland. The study collected data from 13 judges, 18 focus groups with 84 professional participants and services, as well as 300 parents and foster parents who completed the national online survey about their experiences in family law courts.
Dr Kenneth Burns (social work) from the School of Applied Social Studies, UCC, was one of the researchers on this groundbreaking study. Click here to find out more about this study. Click here to read the report once published by the Department of Justice.
