Two men were later charged in connection with the incident under Section 3 of the Non-Fatal Offences against the Person Act and released on bail.
I find that hard to believe, that makes it sound like a street brawl - Irish aviators, isn't there specific legislation in Ireland relating to assaulting flight crew whilst in performance of their duties?

I'd have thought there was a book they could throw at them. And how in hell did they get bailed? One, they're 'travellers' so likely to never be seen again, and two, they *must* be going down for a fair time anyway?
