Child’s retention in ireland not wrongful as parents’ initial move abroad was joint decision

High Court rules that there was no wrongful retention of a child under the Hague Convention when the parents had initially left their home country with a settled intention to reside in Ireland, and the father subsequently changed his mind and returned home without a new custody agreement, the court finding that the father did not request the child's return at any point and was aware of the family's intention to travel to Ireland; and consequently, the mother's retention of the child in Ireland was not deemed wrongful, and the father's application for the child's summary return was denied.
