Just saw this story from the I do, apologies if it's been covered before - https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/man-hospitalised-another-arrested-following-daytime-fight-in-busy-dublin-airport-terminal-41685969.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=seeding
Have to admit, I felt pretty embarassed looking at the video. What the hell is any tourist going to think coming into the country and seeing that carry on? What about any kids around? Where the hell was the airport police?
Is it the case that there are just too many people going through the airport for staff to handle?
All the bigots on the thread.
Don't you know that it has been part of their culture for hundreds of years to go to the airport and get pissed and have an oul' straightener
You should all be ashamed of yourself for looking down on these fine young gentlemen keeping their noble tradition alive
Head stamp...shudder. Should be attempted murder for that everytime.
probably addiction issues or mental health, hope they get the help they need
Yes, the last of the wild feckless Irish race, keeping up noble traditions.
They should get recognition and govt funding, oh wait...
Sure wasnt it in 1884 that they all went down to Knock airport with slashhooks and sulkies to enact the great act of "I grabbed her first"
Couldn’t agree more. I don’t care what age, race, sex, minority, majority or whatever group someone wants to class themselves as. Anyone that can commit a head stamp on someone is nothing only scum and definitely should be charged with attempted murder.
Ah 'twas.
A great day that begat a fabulous family feud that exits to this day. It should be commemorated as our own Bastille Day.
Monsignor Horan even used that event as an excuse to invite JP II to visit Knock back in the day. JP II was a noted connoisseur of the bootleg bare knuckle videos.
We we would certainly have a lot less of it
Old people would sleep better in their beds at night with less worry about getting beaten up and robbed.
Less taxpayers money would be spent on people who never work and council estates where they live wouldn't be looking something like Mariupol.
Motorists wouldn't have to be dealing with dodging sulky racers on dual carriageways and less animals would be mistreated.
This is what you have when a group of people have absolutely nothing positive to add to this country.
Wonder was it football fans heading to Paris?
They must have saved up for ages and booked annual leave from their employers to take a well deserved break.
All ruined by a few minutes tomfoolery, such a shame for them.
Those lads usually tend to work night shifts as well I think?
it was the multiple stamps on the head at the end i have an issue with, such a weak cowardly action. Throw hands fair enough 1 on 1 but it wasn't a fair fight
Re the ‘night shift’, it would depend which arm of the family business they worked in.
Roof repairs and driveway resurfacing would probably be best done in daylight.
Can’t comment on the nocturnal activities.
Jaysus so the lad sitting at the bar maybe calming his nerves with a beer is to blame?
A section of society always seems to manage to blame alcohol and penalise eveyerone else apart from the cultured element who cause the trouble.
A beer might not be for you in the morning but its something some people enjoy it once a year going on holiday. And the vast majority of us dont have a bare knuckle straightner like the knacks.
Deal with the issue and dont punish all of us.
Good thing the A-rabs don't think we merit an attack. For no guard to have line of sight to that in our tiny departure area shows the airport is essentially not policed.
Fair enough. But would you have any proposals for a system that can decide what adult is, and what adult is not, allowed to be served?
You're not going to refuse service based on accent or name unless you want to empty your bank account in a discrimination claim
More security is all well and good but it has to be paid for eventually
They are in the largest airport in the country that has it's own onsite police force. the fight went on for 3 minutes at least. the airport police should have been there before that.
Update: As someone is now before the courts over this, thread should be closed until court case is over.
Reason: Part of Board Terms before anyone asks!

Who made you a mod?
Whats the over/under on the number of previous convictions, im going to say 30
Your post is unhelpful, mine was!
I was giving an update to the topic & know from the past, if it's a pending court case the thread should be locked!
The Guards trousered 10's of thousands in overtime payments during Covid for standing on the side of the road questioning people going about their business but at the Country's busiest airport a load of knacks can indulge in a punch-up for 5minutes without a Guard in sight.
That figures.
How many guards do you want standing around the airport pocketing overtime waiting for a fight to break out?
the airport has its own police force.
Report the OP to bring the thread to the attention of the moderation team.
Go to any airport in Europe and you'll see plenty of (usually heavily armed) police and/or military standing around waiting for something to kick off. Most will spend their entire careers waiting for an incident that doesn't happen, but if it ever did its far better to have them there than not.
Not that I'm advocating use of guns in this case or anything like it - but could you even imagine anything like this going down for even 30 seconds in Heathrow or Charles de Gaulle? Even the thickos in the video wouldn't have the balls to attempt it.
Where they always are, asleep or on strike.
I never knew they had bank accounts and plastic cards, you know.... how do you book a Ryanair flight with cash boss? But I suppose someone has one.
I am advocating the use of guns in this case, you could unload unload a hape of buckshot into that shower in the video without any fear of hitting a law abiding citizen.
Where the hell was the airport police? If this happened in a UK airport these apes would be taken care of in 2 minutes.
One was hospital, one was arrested and taken to Swords station. It may have started with two people, but what about the others?
I thought prompt reponses were required at airports in case of terrorist incidents etc.
