air rage

Hiya,

I may be mistaken, but I dont think Canadian Nationals need a visa for a stay in Ireland not exceeding 90 days.. anyway, thats neither here nor there.. real point is that I want to see the Irish courts make a very big deal out of this...

By virtue of the fact that we lie on Europe's western extremity, we'll be first port of call for a diversion eastbound, or last chance before the ocean on westbound. We'll see proportionally more of these diversions. I think Ireland then has a responsibility to lead by example and come down hard on this kind of behaviour. The suspended sentences handed down to date have been a complete joke. The 1700 Euro fine issued last week was a step in the right direction though.. he'll think twice next time!
