Irish authorities were urged to intervene after Tori Towey was charged with trying to take her own life after allegedly being attacked. The 28-year-old, who works in the United Arab Emirates as an airline cabin crew member, was taken to a police station and her passport blocked from use.
An Irish woman who was charged with attempting suicide by a Dubai court will be allowed to return home, Ireland's prime minister has said, as the case against her is closed. Tori Towey, from Boyle in County Roscommon, says she tried to take her own life after allegedly being attacked and left with severe bruising and other injuries.
' Ordeal 'unimaginable' says Irish PM Earlier, Mr Harris described Ms Towey's ordeal as 'unimaginable' and said it was 'utterly, utterly unacceptable how an Irish citizen is being treated'. He added: 'A woman who has been a victim of a brutal attack found herself waking up not in hospital, but in a police station. It's my absolute priority as the taoiseach of this country, to get Tori back home to Roscommon.
