Irishman who made aid mission to Ukraine brought fleeing family back with him after hearing grandmother's plea for safety

An Irishman who made a humanitarian mission to the Polish-Ukrainian border brought a fleeing family back to Ireland after hearing their grandmother plead for their safety.

Trevor Geraghty, who is originally from Gorey, Co Wexford and now lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, picked up Elizaveta Shyshorina and her children Oleksandr, 15, Kyrylo, 13, and Polina, 8, at the Ukrainian-Polish border last Thursday.

The family fled from Zaporizhzhia, where Russians have taken over the nuclear plant, and arrived in Ireland with Trevor on Monday morning.
