    Story here: http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/?jp=CWIDIDEYGBCW

    "The airport police and fire services brass band will be on hand shortly after midday to welcome the passenger who will be the 20 millionth person to travel through the airport this year."

    So just imagine it. You're completely shattered and hungover on the way back from a beer fest in some far away clime. You climb off the plane and wearily get your baggage. Only to be confronted by a great big brass band trumpeting away and an entire welcoming party. How weird is that? Its like that thing Dom Jolie used to do outside porn shops in his show :D

    So who do you think would be funniest person this could happen to? I'm thinking of someone trying to sneak illegally into the country. All cloak and dagger all the way through their journey, and as soon as they land in the airport (hoping for a clean quick getaway) they get hoisted onto the shoulders of the crowd and broadcast all over RTE as decorated elephants and a pom pom troup dance in the background.

    This should be funny.

    Yep. Remember watching something on TV about it - think it was the show about Ryanair that was on U/ITV some while ago.

    Yes, she was awarded €67,500 by the High Court in lieu of the free flights.
