High Court quashes an emergency care order but upholds an interim care order in respect of the ninth child of parents taken into the care of the State after being born, on the grounds that there was a possibility that the child could suffer harm as the older eight children were the subject of care orders.
Applicants seek to quash two care orders of the District Court made in respect of the first named applicant - first applicant (“Baby A”) is the child of the second applicant (“Mrs. A”) and the notice party (“Mr. A”) - Mr. A and Mrs. A came to Ireland some sixteen years ago and have lived here ever since - apart from Baby A who was born on 6th November, 2018, they have nine other children ranging in ages from sixteen to two - all of these children are the subject of care orders made by the District Court - family first came to attention of social workers in June 2014 - Mrs A had symptoms of paranoia - Mrs A missed ante natal appointments - mother presented to medical professionals stating that angels spoke to her - interim care order granted - emergency care order quashed via grant of order of certiorari - interim care order upheld.
