The family of Jason Corbett have expressed their relief at the return to Ireland this morning of his two children.
The children were at the centre of a custody battle, after the Limerick man died during a domestic incident in North Carolina.
The children will be taken care of by Mr Corbett's sister Tracey Lynch and her husband David.
They landed at Shannon Airport at 7 this morning.
Niall Maloney, Operations Manager at Shannon Airport was involved in organising flights for the Corbett's journey home:
