technical problems

Hi, has anyone more info on the recent issues below, is it the same aircraft?

Plane forced back to airport

Irish Examiner, P4 12/4/2012


A flight to Manchester was forced to return to Shannon Airport with a technical issue yesterday for the second time in less than a week.

The crew of the ATR-72 turbo-prop plane, operated by Aer Arann, levelled off initially to complete check lists before turning around and landing again fifteen minutes after departing.

Last Thursday, passengers travelling on the same service suffered a six hour delay after their aircraft was forced to return to the airport with an engine problem.
