Man arrested at Dublin Airport for boarding plane without passport or boarding pass

Gardaí confirmed that they arrested and charged a man in his 40s for trespassing offences at Dublin airport.

THE DAA HAS stated it will launch an internal review to investigate how a man passed through security screening and boarded an Aer Lingus flight on Monday without a passport or boarding pass.

The man was subsequently arrested and appeared before the Criminal Courts of Justice yesterday.

He was was fined €700 for two charges: trespassing, failure to produce a valid passport or similar document as a non-national in the State, the Irish Independent reported.

The DAA stated today: 

“We never comment on security matters for obvious reasons.”

“We note the speedy apprehension of the individual in this case by Airport Police, who was caught trespassing without a boarding card after being security screened, and his subsequent arrest by An Garda Síochána and successful prosecution before the courts. As with any such incident an internal review is underway.”

Gardaí confirmed that they arrested and charged a man in his 40s for trespassing offences at Dublin Airport.

An Aer Lingus spokesperson said the man had “barged past Aer Lingus boarding agents at the gate and crew at the door of the aircraft and took a seat on board”.

    I’ll knock anyone for doing well for themselves but I just find him a little smug. Mr. Mc Smug Smug.

    These days, Facebook is worth $265.3 billion, with over 1.5 billion people using the site every month.

    Reduce> 2+6+5+3+1+5 = 22 and In Numerology the Number “22″ represents the Master Builder.

    Facebook raised $13.7 million > 11

    There was a lot more than just Mark Zuckerberg behind Facebook from the very beginning.

    Facebook was set up by the US Administration with this in mind.

    Someone had a busy day on google images. Maybe an article with a critique would have been more interesting and better journalism.

    Facebook ain’t going anywhere for a very long time. It has too much info on you and I, it knows everything about you and more, the US government will make sure it stays around for a long time. The people who have accounts but say they never use it, Fb already have what they need on you and have profiled you easily. The ones who say they will/have deleted their accounts, again fb doesn’t care, there are plenty more people signing up everyday who will be more engaging to replace you. It’s pretty much like a race, as in human race.
