Tori Towey's flight from Dubai has landed in Dublin, nearly two weeks after her ordeal began.
DETAINED IN DUBAI GROUPA woman charged with criminal offences in Dubai after she was allegedly a victim of domestic violence has said she is "so relieved... thankful and grateful" to have returned to Ireland.
Her case prompted an intervention by Taoiseach Simon Harris earlier this week after it was raised in the Dáil .Ms Towey said she was "so thankful and grateful to be back" and spoke of her fear of not being able to return to Ireland. The Irish government should make it "absolutely plain to the authorities of Dubai that no woman should be treated in this way", Ms McDonald told the Dáil, and that "an Irish citizen, an Irish woman, will not be treated in this way".The taoiseach thanked Ms McDonald for raising the case to his attention and said he was ready to "intervene".He went on to say Ms Towey had "been the victim of male violence".
"The embassy will of course continue to follow up on the case which is still active as of now... and to thank our embassy for the work in relation to that".
