An airline passenger who was given a jail sentence by a court in Galway after an air rage incident yesterday has been granted bail and is preparing to leave Ireland.
...by sea, presumably. What airline is going to allow him to travel after that conviction?
I don't understand what double jeopardy has got to do with it. I'm not a lawyer, but the conviction was for the drunk and offensive behaviour on a civil aircraft. I can't see that that would prevent a further civil prosecution in the States by the airline to recover their costs based on that conviction?
