Gardaí have reportedly prevented a mother from leaving the country through Shannon Airport, as part of investigations into a car crash.
The Irish Examiner reports that a Garda investigation into alleged reckless endangerment by the woman follows an accident in which she and one of her children were seriously injured.
There is an allegation that she deliberately crashed the car.
The woman, who lives in the Munster area, and her family, were on board a plane which was due to travel from Shannon to London yesterday when Gardaí came on board.
The family returned to the terminal building, and the children are now being cared for by their father after the HSE was refused court custody.
