Parents abandoned 3 Irish-born children in UK

Three young Irish-born children abandoned by their parents in the UK are to be brought home and placed in care, the High Court has been told.

Ms Justice Carmel Stewart has made several orders and declarations which will result in the children, who have been cared for by English social services, being returned to Ireland.

The judge said she was satisfied Ireland ws the children’s habitual residence. The siblings, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, are all under five.
