The alleged abduction of children referred to by the Deputy is being addressed by the Irish Central Authority for Child Abduction and by my colleague, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell. I understand that judicial proceedings in the matter, under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, have been initiated. Accordingly, the matter remains sub judice until the case has been resolved.

Other issues of concern raised in the correspondence supplied by the Deputy and within the remit of my Department are being actively pursued.
