Karla McDermott, wife of Glentoran manager Mick McDermott, left Northern Ireland and her entire family yesterday and flew nearly 4,000 miles to Dubai in order to trigger her visa application to the Home Office. Karla has no guarantee she'll will be allowed to return, and told Belfast LIVE that her kids have been 'in tears'. She said she had 'been suffering heart palpitations and cold sweats as panic sets in' and that the 'thought of leaving my children...of leaving Mick and the possibility of not being able to get back to them is awful.' Mick spoke to Stephen this morning.
