Minister for Defence (Deputy Micheál Martin)

As the Deputy will be aware, family law cases are held in-camera due to the nature of these proceedings and the confidentiality applied to the parties involved in such cases. Accordingly, I am advised that the Air Corps HQ is not aware of the details of such cases.
