Court of Appeal upholds the High Court's decision directing the return of two children to Sweden, affirming the lower court's order despite the children's objections to the relocation, finding that the children's preference to remain in Ireland was influenced by an idealised view of life there and was not based on a realistic assessment of their welfare.
Note: there is another judgment from Ní Raifeartaigh J.
