An Irish woman whose two young children were abducted by their Egyptian father while on holiday in Cairo is “living a mother’s hell” since they were taken against her wishes almost two years.

Mandy Kelly, 37, from Dundalk, Co Louth has had no contact with her two sons since their father refused to let them come home to Ireland after a family holiday turned into a nightmare.
