Court of Appeal dismisses an appeal by a grandmother seeking judicial review of decisions denying her access to her grandchildren, who are in the care of the respondent. The appeal challenged orders made by the District Court and affirmed by the Circuit Court, which had set conditions for the grandmother's access to the children. The Court found no legal errors or breaches of fair procedures in the Circuit Court's decision, which considered the best interests of the children and the grandmother's rights under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
