Four Irish babies born to surrogate mothers in the Ukraine have been evacuated safely.
The babies were reunited with their Irish parents when they were flown to Romania on Wednesday night.
A Government source has confirmed to the Irish Mirror that the babies “are safe and well.”
Tanáiste Leo Varadkar had highlighted there were four babies in a maternity hospital in war-torn Ukraine earlier this week.
The babies which included a set of twins were transferred by medical staff out of Kyiv and reunited with their Irish parents in Romania.
A spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs said they could not comment on consular cases.
But a senior source confirmed the reunification has been successful.
The Irish Mirror also understands five more babies are to be born to surrogate mothers in Ukraine before May.
Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney and his department officials are providing assistance to other families who are expecting babies through surrogacy.
Five babies also were evacuated from Ukraine just before the war broke out.
