The daily departure called a MAYDAY just east of LIFFY and returned to Dublin as they had a Pressurisation issue and crew were on Oxygen(dizzy) and apparently the cabin masks did not drop and its reported some passengers were unconscious !

Sorry, poor wording on my part. Data tell me, that the flight arrived - I mistakenly wrote airplane (without ever noticing until I saw your comment following the referrals the article got).
Sounds like a replacement aircraft was dispatched to take the passengers to Cologne.
We are still waiting for comment from Germanwings.

The pilot reported his pax were either asleep or unconcious. He did not share any other information with the tower or the fire crew. He was told by tower to stop anywhere he wanted so fire crew could assist but he did a long taxi route to his stand all the time still not sharing information with anyone. When fire crew did get on no one needed any treatment !!! Full check of plane, including full check of luggage by fire crew with gas detectors failed to find any problem. Irish AAIB investigating.

Is there not a manual release for the cabin masks ?
Depending on the time available after that PA the crew might not have had the time to use the Manual Release Tool. However the portable O2 has 2 outlets, the 2nd to be use to administer O2 to any unconcious pax.

When I confronted them with additional facts we had received, they still denied, that the incident happened as described, but now confirm, that the airplane returned to Dublin due to technical problems, but still gave no details whatsoever.

There seems to be alot more going on here than the company are telling us. It will be interesting once the report is published....
If it is indeed that the masks did NOT drop as the A/C passed FL200, and passengers did pass out....its amazing how the irish media up to this point have not picked up on this story.

One of the engineer's at Dublin was saying that fumes were coming from the air vents into the cabin, something about oil burning from the APU some how getting into the ventitation system ?
