Irishman Richard O'Halloran, who was prevented from leaving China for almost three years, has told of his "day of great happiness and emotion" as he celebrated his long-awaited return home to his family.
Mr O'Halloran, 46, was working for a Dublin-based aircraft leasing firm when it became involved in a legal dispute with Chinese authorities who then blocked him from leaving the country.
After being unable to see his family for nearly three years, the father-of-four is now home in Dublin and reunited with his wife and children as he thanked the "key individuals who were central in helping to arrive at this positive outcome".
