A High Court judge has said he is satisfied that the State has made effort it can to ensure that an Irish couple are able to return to Ireland their new-born child from the Ukraine.

Mr Brian O'Moore noted that the State is working on new regulations that will allow the family board flights from Ukraine, via Frankfurt to Dublin early on Saturday morning, and that on their arrival, they wont have to enter the mandatory hotel quarantine.
