Well my reckoning on the drunk irish people is that if she had off loaded some pax then there would have been 50 or 60 pax to rebook aswell as having 60 odd people roaming around the terminal for the rest of the night/day. So basically if she could get them all on then it would save the cyprus airways staff alot of work. Plus none of them were actually a danger i think.
