The case of two Irish children being held in Egypt against their mother’s wishes will be placed on the red Interpol notice —  meaning their father can be arrested at any time by police worldwide.

Zayn and Kareen Mohamed, who are aged 7 and 4, were both taken from their mother Mandy Kelly from Dundalk in March 2022 during a family holiday in Cairo.
