An article in the edition of last Saturday, concerning a High Court action by former prisoner Gary Breen for damages, reported Breen's allegation that the inmate who attacked him was a cousin of a man whose neck was slashed by Breen in 1998.
The man was not a relation of or known to the inmate. Breen received an eight-year sentence for the assault.
In Law Matters, in the edition of April 7th last, a report of a High Court judgment was headed "High Court rules that abducted children must be returned to France". This was a report of proceedings under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, Article 1 of which states its first object as "To secure the prompt return of children wrongfully removed to or retained in any Contracting State". The respondent in the case has pointed out that the court found he had wrongfully retained the children in the State.
