Dublin Airport incident Thursday Morning!

Wrex

A complete idiot was late for his Ryanair flight to Amsterdam, and managed to make it outside on the the taxi way, and ran to the plane!

How he thought this action would allow him to board is beyond me!

That's dedication

That man REALLY wanted to go to Amsterdam.

How did he even get out there after the boarding gate was shut?

Fair fúcks to him to him. Lunatic.

Cheek of Ryanair. Could they not let him finish his few pre-breakfast pints before closing the door?

What kinda of punishment would you get for a stunt like that?

Cavity search is your only man in a situation like this.

He's bloody lucky he only got arrested. If he tried that in the US he'd probably have gotten shot.



Did he think he was flagging down a bus?

Less than a year since someone tried this in Madrid also - https://www.joe.ie/news/watch-shocking-footage-shows-ryanair-passenger-running-across-tarmac-trying-to-catch-departing-plane-556040

Exit doors have to be emergency activatable in case of an actual emergency; I'd presume this is how the idiots got out in both cases.

How did he get on the Tarmac in the first place? Do our Airport POlice have power of arrest, or is it just to detain. We really do need an Armed Pressence Transport Police/Garda Unit. Could have just as easily been a terrorist.

I was wondering what the delay this morning was... mentalist.

California Dreamer

He could be heard shouting I have an appointment as he ran towards the aircraft!!!!

Nijmegen

One wonders what additional privations will be forced upon us in response to this incident. The self absorption of some idiots is really astounding. Chasing a plane onto the tarmac is the ultimate in lack of self awareness of surroundings or situation.

NasserShammaz

Now I remember why I voted for repeal of the 8th. Moron is maybe what he could aspire to with a little help

Remember the time at cork airport where I guy car-jacked a Garda car in the city centre and drove through the fence of Cork Airport and was chased in circles around the apron of the airport. All while arse naked.

Difference was, he was just back from Amsterdam.

Poor guy was only trying to get his son and ex-wife back after nearly losing his job as a lawyer because his son made a wish and then he wasn’t able to lie.

Or get out of Ireland.

The boarding gates all have a ‘break glass incase of emergency’ button, like a fire alarm, by law they’re required, most likely he popped it on both doors.
The Airport Police are just basic security gaurds with hand cuffs, some of them are great at their job, a lot of them are useless, the Ryanair staff who held the pax until AP arrived would have the same amount of power as them (civilian arrest) until the Garda arrive and arrest the pax to be charged. You’ll very very rarely see AP put their hands on anyone or even hand cuffs on them, most times it’s just an escort from the terminal to outside by walking or driving, was even the case when a group of people started fighting in the terminal and throwing pint glasses at each other etc, while there was kids there n all, AP police stood back and done nothing, it was a mixture of a couple of different handling agent companies that broke it up and seperated them, then AP stepped in had a chat with said persons and were basically begging us to let them travel on the flights ‘to just rid of them’!, it csn be madness. All persons detained at the airport are handed over to the gardai for arrest and or their charge to be put forward to them.

There are various people at Dublin airport with statutory not common law powers of arrest. The AP are authorized officers under the State Airports Acts and very much have statutory power of arrest under those Acts (formerly the Air Navigation Acts).

Not commenting on the specifics of the glass throwing references but I have seen AP handcuff people several times.

rushfan

The above post is interesting to say the least. The suggestion that Airport Police do not have power of arrest is, frankly, nonsense. You might want to check out the appropriate legislation. State airports act 2014. And unless you were at the boarding gate and witnessed the ENTIRE incident , your post is mere speculation.

ED E

To those referencing America as a more secure venue:

Surprisingly he wasn't shot and didn't escape the terminal, got through the perimeter fences!

Idiocy has a name and "Patrick Kehoe" is it.

He also brandished his buttox at reporters when released from court.

Apologies if I've confused the man with another rapscallion called Patrick Kehoe

Snipped - name is FAR too common to try make that connection, thanks

AndyBoBandy

Mr Kehoe dropped his trousers and mooned press photographers shortly after he left the Criminal Courts of Justice.

He was also "throwing shapes and made hand gestures at the assembled snappers."

What an idiot. Are we sure he wasn't coming from Amsterdam and left something on the plane, ie. his mind.

far too common but ages match. I found another one for trespass the following year with age being about right.

And unless you've actual proof its him you're leaving boards.ie liable for legal action should it not be him.

Nijmegen

Dressed in a grey padded jacket, grey tracksuit bottoms and runners, the unemployed man grinned awkwardly as he stood before the judge who asked him if he had a solicitor, to which he replied, “No”. He had the same answers when the judge asked him if he was working and if he had the name of a solicitor.

“I don’t know any of them, do you want to choose me one?” he then said.

"Choose me one." Interesting grammatical formulation. Just popped into my head accented, for some reason.

Sounds like a lovely character altogether.

in Ireland very little it seams - his free solicitor, paid by taxpayers, got him bail and even managed to stop him been banned from Dublin airport - the Irish judiciary are so out of touch with decent citizens of Ireland.

super_furry

He's just been on the news swinging his cabin bag at the camera crews filming him leaving the court.

Don't think we're dealing with a Mensa member here.

Unemployed, gets free legal aid but had the bobs to go off to Amsterdam, 'tis a great wee country

Posts about other incidents which may or may not be the same person are going to continue being deleted as they are legally fraught and also off-topic

Anybody who was on that flight and due to be sitting near to that pair should be breathing a big sigh of relief

"Kehoe, with his luggage in tow, left the court with a woman shortly after the hearing."

Presumably the woman was carrying his baggage.It always amazes me that Irish pond lives never appear to have any problem in finding a dumb broad to tag along. Maybe she paid for his ticket.

rivegauche

Off topic: what the hell were they doing heading to the park after Court appearance? Visiting the zoo? taxis, buses, dealers, train to wexford are all in the opposite direction.

Will he still be able to go for his long weekend?

Will he have to fly out of Belfast or Cork?

Surely there already is some form of armed security presence at the airport no?

(and I don't mean : will be there shortly present. But armed, present and waiting to respond?)

Berserker

Did he think that the pilot was going to stop, open the doors and allow him to board?

Nope, his break in Amsterdam is cancelled. SVP will probably give him the funds to cover his loses. Knock would also be an option for him.

ConnyMcDavid

All that he was charged with was damaging a magnetic door? So there is no crime to running out on the taxiway?

First Up

Some lucky person had an empty seat beside them.

There has to be a whole bunch of by-laws that he broke no?

Yeah, this guy reminds me of a lad I had beside me on a first to LGW a few weeks back. Complained to the flight attendant because she asked him to move into his allocated seat and he order wine ..... at 7am in the morning.

Actually the Court refused to ban him from Dublin Airport when the Gardai requested it. Nothing to stop him heading over for some Amsterdamage later today.
