PARAMEDICS WERE CALLED to assess a number of Aer Lingus crew members at Dublin Airport after they became ill on a flight from the United States.
Aer Lingus flight IE 146 from San Francisco arrived at Dublin Airport’s Terminal 2 at 12.46pm. It is understood seven members of crew reported feeling ill and passengers were kept on the plane as a precaution until the HSE assessed the situation for a possible public health risk.
In a statement, the airline said: “Aer Lingus can confirm that a number of cabin crew aboard the EI146 flight from San Francisco reported feeling unwell during the flight, and as a precautionary measure, guests were not disembarked until HSE assessed the situation as per normal protocol.”
Aer Lingus said the pilots were not affected and the flight landed as normal.
The HSE said it dispatched a number of resources to the scene including three ambulances, one advanced paramedic rapid response vehicle, a motorcycle response vehicle, an intermediate care ambulance, an ambulance incident officer, two assistant chief ambulance officers and an incident support vehicles.
Staff from HSE Public Health also attended the scene. The initial seven crew members were assessed as well as all passengers. All were discharged following assessment by HSE crews and public health staff and the incident was stood down just after 3pm.

I was wondering what Amy Hubermann was thinking of it all. Thank God for The Journal.
@The Guru: Never mind that nobody Barbara S…FFS.
Went into spar for a cup of coffee, the sun was so strong there was people wearing sun glasses outside. When i came out 5mins later there was a hail shower. Mad stuff that coffee
Oh, that was good for a smile at the end of a working day!
April showers bring may flowers
@Alan Carthy: Hope your right Alan we’ve all the baskets done
@Alan au contraire. Whan that Aprille with his shoures swete / The droghte of Marche hath pierced to the root…and loads of my bedding plants look frost nipped.
Then it got sunny, then the hail returned, then rain, then the sun came back…don’t know what is next, cats and dogs?
@The Girl:
Years ago when roots were thatch, cats and dogs slept in them to keep warm. When it got too wet the cats and dogs would slip out, hence the saying ‘it’s raining cats and dogs’.
@Lily: Yes but where did the expression “It’s p155ing down out of the high heavens” originate.
We have a saying or nursery kind of song in German:
April, April der macht was er will. Mal Regen und mal Sonnenschein dann schneit es wieder zwischendrein, April, April, April, der macht was er will.
Translation lol
APRIL APRIL APRIL DOES WHAT IT LIKES. ONCE RAIN AND ONCE SUNSHINE THEN SNOW IN BETWEEN. APRIL APRIL APRIL DOES WHAT IT LIKES…
and finishes the sentence in sunshine lol
