    So Mansfield was 'unaware' that didn't have a licence to run flights to or from outside the IRL/UK common travel area, so drugs gang smugglers were using his airport and planes from belgium and hundreds of international flights were operated from there illegal this year.

    but its ok cos they were just executives? ya know VIPS

    Between 600 and 800 flights have used the airport in the last three years that should not have. The matter is likely to raise serious questions about security at small Irish airports.

    Just to clarify, there is one case of drug smuggling linked to Weston.
