Shane McInerney arrested due to bad behavior on flight to NYC

Your lordship needs to ease off.

Altitude clearly does not work well with medication in certain cases. That's been proven time and time again in certain cases.

Go easy you miserable jail merchants out there. If there's a life more miserable than yours.... What's the problem?;

A few years will get the lesson learned. 20 years, fook off.

If he is out on bail what is his chances of skipping bail and getting back to Ireland. Would Ireland extradite him back to US for this sort of crime.

Eh, no.

I cannot imagine any cocktail of drink/ drugs/altitude that would prompt me to attack other passengers, moon, and generally cause mayhem on a transatlantic flight.

Excited about his new job? Really???

You really think that's a valid excuse/explanation??

feck him

9/11 was a game changer for the US in relation to air travel. Zero tolerance for any acting the knob on a flight in American air space. He will probably do a little time. 18 months plus an alcohol and drugs rehab programme thrown in for good luck.

Playing senior hurling now

I don’t know anything about this chap, but the fact he has frosted tips & is wearing 3 rings on one of his hands would tell me he’s a complete buffer.

Skip bail? Like, turn up at JFK tomorrow expecting to board a flight home? 😎

That would get him serious jail time. The Yanks don’t mess around with bail.

Unlike here. Lads disappearing all the time but how many bail bonds are confiscated?

Yes,Ireland have an extradition treaty with the US as you'd expect and we'd hand him back in a heartbeat.

I thought when I saw this thread WTF is this clown, then it be became apparent he's just a moronic, attention seeking, nobody Scroat who's about to learn all about American Justice system, Good luck with that Shane 🙄

Totally unacceptable behaviour, and a safety risk to the flight, crew and passengers, that I think we all agree.

Its one thing doing this on a flight bound for Ireland, the Gardaí waiting for you, released after a couple of hours, home to mammy, court appearance 18 months later with a small fine, slap on the wrist, the court story might make the local newspaper.

But its another thing doing this on a flight destined for the US. As posted already said, since 9/11, any sign of not complying to the airline regulations, not obeying crew instructions, etc, expect to be treated like a high rish terrorist. Expect no mercy from police, FBI, court systems. Many years ago, I was pulled away and questioned by US immigration in the states over a visa I held. It was all ok after some checks by them, and I was let off to my US destination. But my god, I thought I was going to be hauled off to a holding cell or Guatanomo Bay. I wouldnt wish it on anyone (who is innocent).

I doubt he will get 20 years, he might get say 2 years or less, he will get a fine, deported (after any jail time), visa cancelled, barred from entering the US until he is an old man, and obviouly thats the end of his coaching career in Florida / US.

I wonder if many employers in Ireland would hire him in the future, I mean jobs in areas such as trainer in sports clubs / gyms, sales reps for sports companies, etc.
