Summary
An unnamed Irish father is asking the High Court to direct the Irish State to help locate and safely return his daughter from Poland. He says an extraordinary complaint by Poland's children's ombudsman automatically suspends enforcement of the return decision and has prolonged a separation he says has lasted 750 days.
