‘This is a death here, this is a living death’

A GROUP of 50 men dressed as Santa took to the streets of Dublin yesterday to highlight the treatment of fathers in the family law courts.

Ray Kelly, a member of the Unmarried and Separated Fathers of Ireland group, said there was no proper policing of court orders granting access to children, leaving many fathers out in the cold this Christmas.

Outside the Four Courts in Dublin, he said mothers were favoured unfairly due to major inequalities in the Irish family law system.
