A fundraiser set up to help Roscommon woman Tori Towey, after her ordeal in Dubai, has reached its target of €10,000.
The GoFundMe appeal was set up by her cousin, Nicole McElroy, to help her clear credit-card and car-loan charges, and has now raised almost €10,200.
It says Tori was the victim of physical and psychological abuse, as well as financial control.

It says any remaining funds will go to the Domestic Violence Advocacy Service and Radha Stirling from Detained in Dubai.
Tori returned home to Boyle 10 days ago after the Dáil was told she was subjected to domestic violence in Dubai.
She was charged with alcohol consumption and attempted suicide after the alleged incident, but the charges were lifted after the Irish government intervened.

Fianna Fáil councillor Sean Moylan, who works in Boyle, says local people have rallied around her.
