Two children whose return to their mother was opposed by their Irish-based father because of the mandatory wearing of masks in French schools must be returned toAfter their parents’relationship broke down, their father returned to. Last year, when the children, who are both attending primary school in France, were visiting their father in Ireland, he decided he would not return them to France.
This was due to his concerns about one of the children having to wear a face covering in school, as part of efforts announced in France in October 2020 to counter the Covid-19 pandemic. While the father did not want the children to remain in Ireland permanently, he argued the requirement to wear masks would adversely affect his child and result in the child suffering anxiety and distress.
Arising out of the refusal to allow them return to France, the children’s mother, through the French courts, applied for orders under the International Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Abduction, the Hague Convention.ruled the children were wrongfully detained and should be returned to France forthwith.
