A school in Co Cork gave three brothers a heartwarming welcome back after their deportation case was dropped.
The Khan brothers were granted a last minute reprieve in their case after massive outpouring of support for their family from their school, Colaiste Eamann Ris, from University College Cork, and from the wider Cork community.
The Cork students, Zubair, Mutjaba and Umair, were told of plans to deport them and their family after being refused international protection in this country, Corkbeo.ie reports.
The family have been living in a direct provision centre in Cork city since seeking asylum in Ireland from Saudi Arabia two years ago.
Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan intervened in their case last week and cancelled their deporation.
And their school decided to celebrate the news by welcoming the brothers back with some Cork traditions as seen in a video posted online.
The video shows the three brothers walk through the halls of their school as rows of pupils clap and cheer.
Among the gifts given to the siblings from students and staff in the video was a hurl, a box of Barry's tea, and Tanora.
The school stood behind the brothers in their time of need, and everyone involved with the school was delighted to see the three lads back in the classroom.
Rounding off the video is the Cork classic in the form of The Frank and Walters' 'After All'.
You can watch the video on the school's Facebook page here.
