After being placed under travel restriction in Dubai, an Irish lady is “relieved” to be back in her home country, reports Breaking News.
This week, Tori Towey’s story came up in the Dáil when it was revealed that the Co Roscommon flight attendant had been the victim of domestic violence and had been accused of attempting suicide.
The Dáil chamber was informed that she was prohibited from leaving the territory by the authorities in Dubai.
The government and the Irish Embassy in the United Arab Emirates intensified their efforts in her case on Wednesday, reports Breaking News.
Later on Wednesday, the Detained in Dubai organisation informed the Dáil that the travel prohibition had been withdrawn and that Ms. Towey’s charges had been dismissed.
Radha Stirling, who has been speaking on behalf of Ms. Towey while she is detained in Dubai, shared on social media on Thursday morning, saying, “She’s home.”
After arriving back in Dublin, Ms. Towey told the journalists, “I’m just so relieved.” It’s unbelievable to me, reports Breaking News.
“I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone; the embassy, the ambassador, the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste, Mary Lou [McDonald], Claire Kerrane, obviously the media – without you men I wouldn’t be here right now. Without the support of the Irish people, this is such an amazing country and I feel bad for people that don’t have the support that we have – we’re such a tight country and have each other’s backs. I can’t believe how fast things got going and I’m so emotional. And a huge thanks [to] Radha Stirling, she’s the first one that we got on to and she kicked off everything,” she added, reports Breaking News.
