On Wednesday, Ann Flynn, Ms Towey's aunt, told BBC Radio Foyle’s North West Today programme that Tori and her whole family had been through a huge ordeal but she hoped the end was now in sight. “The travel ban being lifted is a huge relief, I didn’t actually quite believe it when I heard it,” Ms Flynn said. “Hopefully they will be home tomorrow. They haven’t actually got a flight sorted yet and we are just waiting to hear next steps." Ms Flynn praised everyone who helped highlight her niece's case. “When they arrive in Ireland, it will be such a relief,” she said. “We just want her home, we just want to start a new chapter with her.”
