    The details sound an awful lot like something I was expecting to happen. If it's what I'm thinking of then I have no problem with it.

    ANAGH AND AODHAN O’FAOLAIN – 27 SEPTEMBER 2013

    A day-old breast-fed baby was taken from its mother after a strong force of gardai surrounded a house in a border county on the instructions3 of HSE care workers, the High Court was told oday
    Mr Justice Sean Ryan will sit in the High Court first thing tomorrow morning to hear legal argument as to the lawfulness of the baby’s detention.Michael O’Higgins SC, counsel for the baby and its mother, told the court that the child was born at 8:17am on Wednesday morning and by tea-time yesterday it was the subject of an emergency care application by the HSE in the District Court.The identity of the baby or its parents, or publication of any detail that might lead to identifying any of them, was banned by the court which heard there were “certain existing allegations” against the father which had been of concern to the HSE.Mr O’Higgins, who appeared with Mairead Carey, said the baby was now in the custody of the HSE and he was asking the court to direct an inquiry into the lawfulness of that custody. He said the issue to be decided by the High Court was whether there was a deficiency in the procedure adopted in yesterday’s District Court hearing.He said the mother already had one teenage child in care of the HSE and the father had two teenage children also in the care of the HSE.Mr O’Higgins said that after the mother had become pregnant the pregnancy had been monitored by the HSE.  A conference had been held by the HSE on September 10 at which it had been considered the baby might be at risk following birth.  The HSE had taken legal advice on the question of protection issues.At 8.17am on Wednesday, September 24, the mother had given birth to a boy and by 5.15pm the family solicitor had received an indication that an emergency care application would be made before a District Court judge yesterday.The solicitor had immediately instructed barrister Mairead Carey to act on behalf of the mother and baby who had left the hospital yesterday morning and had gone to a friend’s house.“A large number of gardai surrounded the house and went inside and announced to those inside that they were under house arrest, causing a significant degree of distress to the mother,” Mr O’Higgins told the court.Following negotiations between the family solicitor and the gardai, the garda presence surrounding the house, which consisted of two squad cars and don't garda van, had been reduced to one garda car.
