'We can't leave my son in Lebanon': Mother of Irish toddler in plea to Taoiseach

David Nahle, who will be turning three soon, has both Irish and British citizenship.

The mother of a two-year-old Irish citizen who is being held captive by his father in war-torn Lebanon has pleaded with the Taoiseach to help return her child saying: “We can’t leave him there my child is not safe, time is running out”.

Catherine Flanagan, aged 39, from Belfast has not seen her son David Nahle since January this year.
