DNA tests have proved that a seven-year-old girl taken from a Roma family in Dublin on Monday is their daughter. The family said they were “delighted” that their daughter had come home.
They also said they would be taking legal advice, and that serious questions have arisen over the procedures used in the case. The blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl had been removed by police from her Tallaght home and taken into temporary care.
In a statement issued through their solicitor the family said: “Her removal has been a cause of huge upset to her parents, her brothers and sisters, and the young girl herself.
“They now intend to concentrate on looking after their family and, in particular, in trying to reassure their daughter that she will be left in their care.”
