Irish women and teenager caught in Cairo mosque stand-off

The above headline caught my attention in the Telegraph, and my first thought was "What on earth are they doing in Cairo?"
Then I read the report and discovered their names were Omaima Halawa,  and her two sisters Somaia,  and Fatima,  and their younger brother Ibrihim.

With those names they are obviously part of a ancient Irish family, the O'Halawas. and are clearly within their rights in expecting the Irish Embassy to rescue them from their predicament!
