Court of Appeal dismisses an appeal by a grandmother seeking judicial review of a High Court decision that upheld earlier District and Circuit Court orders denying her access to her grandchildren, who are in the care of the Child and Family Agency, the court finding no legal error in the Circuit Court's decision, which was based on the children's best interests and the grandmother's previous lack of belief in allegations of sexual abuse against one of the children.
