Irishwoman Tori Towey has arrived home safely after a ‘nightmare’ few weeks that saw her detained in Dubai.
The 28-year-old Roscommon woman was detained and barred from leaving the United Arab Emirates until the Government got involved and the charges were dropped.
On Wednesday, the Dáil heard that she had suffered violent domestic abuse in Dubai.
After approaching police in Dubai for help, she was told she was barred from leaving the country and was charged with attempted suicide and abuse of alcohol.
Yesterday those charges were dropped and authorities confirmed that she would be allowed to return home.
Speaking in her arrival back at Dublin Airport this afternoon, Tori said: “I'm just so relieved; I just can't believe it.”
She offered a huge thanks to the Detained in Dubai charity, the Irish Embassy, politicians, the media and the Irish people.
“I wouldn’t be here right now without the support of the Irish people,” she said.
“This is just 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 we have each other's backs and I just I can't believe how fast things got going - I am so emotional.
“I'm just so thankful and so grateful to be back.”
She said her final weeks in Dubai were extremely tiring mentally.
“Obviously, when my mother came out to me, it was a massive help but yeah, it was just the unknown - just not knowing anything and not knowing what's going to happen.
“But I'm back now and just I'm excited to get home and see my family.”
She issued a special thanks to her family and friends for their support.
“They've been going through everything with me and just keeping me strong,” she said.

Great appreciation and respect from this Lady who was obviously getting railroaded in a male and religious dominated country.....sometimes we fofget how fortunate we are in this little country.

@johnsometimeswrong8742 FYI, before you go in any muslim country, you must know their rules and law, and you must follow and respect them. Suicidal is prohibited in islam. That's all

So happy that she is home and safe . We are lucky to be Irish I just hope our politicians don't ruin that for us with the influx of men coming from those countries that think women are property.

Glad to see she is back. Hope she is doing ok and gets the help she needs. And sad for any women who are abused/suicidal in Islamic countries who are treated the same and cant escape their disgusting sharia law Govts. This is why Im wary of Islam coming in to Ireland. Its misogynistic and oppressive. Even the clothing the women wear(lots forced) is oppressive. Just ask the Iranians

Dubai authorities detain people who try to commit suicide for their own safety and they are not released until medically assessed and cleared. As soon as her family and irish authorities got involved she was released immediately due to the fact she was in safe hands. We are only getting one side of the story here.

Ignorance of the law in another country is a western go to for defence. Self preservation should be your goal in life. Nobody can save you from yourself.
