Meanwhile a 2-year-old boy who was taken from his Roma family in Athlone in Co Westmeath has been reunited with them.
Lawyer Waheed Mudah said:
"Our clients are aboslutely delighted that their daughter is coming home. Her removal has been a cause of huge upset to her parents, her brothers and sisters to the young girl herself..."
"Our clients also wish to say that they do not believe that what has happened to their family over the last few days should ever have happened..."
"They believe there are very serious questions arising about the procedures used in this case, but are going to wait for this to settle and then consider their position and that of their daughter in light of recent events and will be taking legal advice in respect of this."
