    I have a good idea what compensation the affected families would be entitled to as well as the legal costs and I base that on my own professional experience.

    They people the Gardai took the children from were not kidnappers, they were the children's parents so imagining what could have happened is really pointless.

    Seriously listen to yourself, if the Garda left the child there and anything happened to it they would be responsible. It's pointless now only because the child's parents are known. At the time of the decision that was not the case.

    I'm not doubting the Garda and HSE's good intentions. The fact is they got it wrong. Ifs and buts are no use then or now.

    Internal & external investigations under way & I hope the families affected seek legal advice.

    Nobody seems to considering what the families or the children were put through by this either. Added to the fact they were vulnerable in the first place. They were foreign nationals in a country not their own and to have their children forcibly removed from them by the State in is a ****ing disgrace tbh regardless of the State's motives.

    The State messed up. End of as far as I'm concerned.

    Your own profession is half the time in the gutter, I'm sure some of your finest will try and make a killing on this right or wrong!

    the police did the right thing ,if there is even a shadow of a doubt they should do it ,how many people have vanished over the years , if there was even the smallest chance to reunite a parent with a lost child ,well why not ,as for them claiming persecution its a joke ,they buy kids to use for differant reasons and the idiots of the ( there all human and done nothing wrong brigade ) cope on .thats why **** like this gone too long ,all over europe this is going on but their stongest defence is raceist , and like sheep we back down through fear ,
