Judge says father 'over-reacted' to Covid-19 concerns and orders children be returned to mother

A judge has said that a father “over-reacted’ when he refused to return his two children to their mother over Covid 19 safety concerns he had for them.

Gardai were called in last Sunday by the children’s mother after her ex-husband refused to return the two primary school going children to her as part of a mediated shared access agreement.
