About
Written by one of the leading legal  practitioners in this area, The Law of Child Abduction in Ireland examines the law within the State applicable to the abduction of children from the care of those with legal responsibility for them, which can comprise parents (in the broadest sense of that word) those with legal rights other than as parents, local authorities or other State agencies within the State or outside this State.

In addition to the well-known Hague Convention on the civil aspects of International Child Abduction, there is detailed analysis of domestic law, the EU Regulations and the Luxembourg or European Convention, together with the case law interpreting the core provisions. Lastly, the interaction of the Constitution, the European Convention on Human Rights, and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union with child abduction is considered.
