Ireland no refuge for UK families fleeing social workers, warns judge
A London High Court judge has warned parents who fear that children might be taken into care by English or Welsh local authorities against travelling to Ireland in an attempt to seek “sanctuary”.
Mr Justice Cobb said such a move was “futile” because English and Irish courts took a “similar approach” and Irish judges had “exhibited no intention” of establishing Ireland as a “sanctuary for families from other jurisdictions”.
