Heartwarming moment two brothers are reunited at Dublin Airport after 40 years apart

This is the heart-warming moment when two brothers separated by time and distance exchanged a hug in Dublin Airport after being apart for 40 years.

Willie, 90, set off on a six-week boat journey to Australia in search of work in 1959 and eventually went on to start a family. On Friday, Dublin Airport shared a video showing Willie along with his daughter Sue reuniting with his beloved brother Tony and his own son John in Terminal 1.

In the video, Willie immediately gets out of his wheelchair to envelope his brother Tony in a big hug, while introducing their respective children to one another for the very first time.
