Fathers group to mount protest at Four Courts

The Unmarried and Separated Fathers of Ireland group is due to mount a protest outside the Four Courts in Dublin today to raise awareness of its on-going campaign for legal change.

The group believes it is closer than ever to getting Ireland's family law overhauled to ensure fathers are treated with equality and fairness in the event of a relationship breaking up.

"I've been campaigning for the last 11 years and I think social attitude has changed," spokesman Ray Kelly said last night.

"Some parts of the Government have recognised the difficulty and problems that are being faced."
