Emotional video shows sisters reunited at Dublin Airport after almost 60 years apart

After more than 60 years apart, two sisters, living on opposite sides of the planet, had an emotional reunion in Dublin Airport this week.

In October 2015, Lesley Fagan, from Enniskillen, read a story about Chinese twins separated at birth who had found each other through Facebook. Her older sister had been given up for adoption before Lesley, 64, was born so she decided to see if she could do the same.

She made an appeal on Facebook which gained some traction and was picked up by two genealogists - Jill Harrington, in the UK, and Terri O’Neill, in Australia.
