The case of two Irish children abducted to Egypt has been raised before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs, as their mother continues to seek a legal pathway to bring them home.

Mandy Kelly's sons, Zayn and Kareem, aged eight and five years, from Dundalk, were taken to Egypt by their father in 2022 while on a family holiday in Cairo and have not been returned.
