Photograph: Bryan O'BrienAn Irish father who has accused the Polish state of “stealing” his child has been given a court date for the hearing of his case over the alleged inaction of authorities here in assisting with her return. He has been unable to track her down despite a Polish court order that the child be returned to Ireland, the court has heard. The Polish order, while accepted by the State here, is being appealed for the second time by the children’s ombudsman in Poland. “This is the Polish state stealing my child.,” he said.
