The Girls Are Being Made Examples Of, It's As Simple As That

Furious mum hits out at treatment of Dubai pair

The mother of one of the Dubai 2 has claimed their ordeal is having an “awful effect” on the friends.

Kirstie McGrath and Niamh Mulreany are in quarantine after being arrested when they flew back from the UAE, where they had planned to get a boob job and belly op.

Last night Niamh’s mother Sabrina said: “These two girls are not statistics and what is happening is having an awful affect on them. They are being treated worse than animals – this is a complete circus.”

The frontline worker spoke out after it was revealed seven gardai had to go into self-isolation.

She added: “Niamh and Kirstie are being made examples of, it’s as simple as that and the question has to be asked why?

“When those girls got on to the plane in Dubai they did not have Covid-19.

“The girls left Ireland on the morning of March 24 and the new rules on quarantining did not come in until March 26, two days later so why is this happening?”
