No, I am not saying that. The child is not on the run. If the family co-operates with the Garda authorities, they will ensure that the child is reunited with his parents. This problem arose because the parents did not co-operate with the Garda in the first instance. It is not the Garda's fault that it became impossible to keep the family together — that happened as a consequence of a decision that was taken by the child's parents. I emphasise that there is no reason for the child to run away from the Garda, which is seeking merely to reunite the family in question.
