Singer Dolores O'Riordan held after alleged incident on flight

From RTÉ News

Musician Dolores O’Riordan has been arrested by gardaí after an alleged incident on a New York to Shannon flight.

A female flight attendant was allegedly assaulted shortly before the plane landed in Shannon.

Gardaí were called and it is understood a member of the gardaí was also assaulted.

She was arrested and brought to Shannon Garda Station, where she is being questioned.




The kind of shenanigans you associate with rock stars when they are still actually rock stars.

Not when they become former rock stars. Has she a new album or a book coming out soon or something?

Of the few times I've had the unfortunate experience of seeing her on The Voice, she always seemed to be full of her own importance so a story like this doesn't really surprise me.

Must be some whimp of a Garda how could a stick like her assault a Garda?

Wasn't she involved in a punch-up in Limerick night club way back...?

Hopefully the case will be dealt with swiftly, can be terribly messy if you let it linger.

It will linger if you get a zombie judge.

Channel your inner Patridge voice...
And then I said to her "No need to argue, Dolores".

Needless to say, I had the last laugh.

Hopefully she'll wake up and smell the coffee after this...

You can take the girl out of Limerick but you can't take the Limerick out of the girl

Probably the same way anyone else would assault a garda.

I remember an ex of mine describing a scrawny junkie lady of about 5foot and 6 stone hopped up on a 6foot plus gardas back and dragging her nails deep into his face. I'd never assume a little person wasn't dangerous.

Why was Dolores O'Riordan staring at the carton of juice?

Because it said concentrate on the side of it.

Everybody else is doing it, so why can't she?
But hey, there's no need to argue, she needs to bury the hatchet...

Headbutted the Garda and stamped on the air hostesses leg after knocking her down apparently.

To use her own vernacular, what a gowl!

You must be quite the gambler in that case.

Bit of a difference between someone getting their 'knickers in a twist' and being taken to hospital following an alleged assault on them in their workplace.

She will get off light when she produces the old abused as a youth card.

the flight attendant and garda are lucky she didnt stab them.

Was that the cause of it do you think?

You've never been, have you?:D You just subcontracted out your view to hacks and left it at that.

In a way I can't blame you. Life is short. We can't all go everywhere.

People should be free to make jokes without being riordan.

Using this story to make jokes about Limerick is pathetic.

"Held after an incident on a flight"
Thought she had tried to sing one of her tunes at an innocent bystander

The only gob****es are the ones making "Stab" jokes. It got old about a decade ago.

She always came across as a bit of a kn&cker TBH.

She was arrested for crimes against humanity

i.e. her singing

RhubarbCrumble

I met her through work a few times years ago when The Cranberries were at the height of their fame and have to say she was always very pleasant.

I disagree, I only got it the second time.

Apparently when she was asked by the flight attendant why she was so angry she said "I know I've felt like this before, but now I'm feeling it even more,
Because it came from you.".

She's been taken to hospital. http://www.rte.ie/news/2014/1110/658069-dolores-oriordan/

I agree. I'd say she's as contrary as a bag of cats too. Not a bit suprised to hear this.

No charges.

Odd. I personally don't like flying and don't want to be in the air with people who can't control violent urges, however diminuitive they may be in stature.

Released without charge?????
