A US court has directed the return of three young children to their father after their mother took them to Florida on a holiday last year and failed to return.
The children, aged 12 and under, were returned on an Aer Lingus flight to Dublin last week after the father brought successful child abduction proceedings in a federal court. The case involved a family from Ulster.
