An Irish mother of two children who were abducted by their father while on a family holiday in Egypt is set to take a landmark case in Cairo in September seeking their return to her care.

37-year-old Mandy Kelly from Dundalk has not seen her sons in two years, after their father locked her in an apartment and took them from her while they were in Cairo in February 2022.
