Court of Appeal upholds the High Court's decision to allow the disclosure of audio and video recordings held by the Gardaí, which were relevant to a family law case concerning the custody and welfare of children, on the grounds that the recordings were material to the family law proceedings and necessary for a fair resolution, and the trial judge was correct in conducting a balancing exercise between competing public interests.
