Aer Rianta telephonist heard ‘Bin Laden accent’

AN AER RIANTA telephonist, who claimed she suffered post-traumatic stress disorder after taking a bomb call which later turned out to be a hoax at Dublin Airport, yesterday settled her action for damages in the High Court.

Caroline Lynch, aged 41, of Maolbuille Road, Glasnevin, Dublin, told the court that following the early morning call she was upset, her mouth later came out in ulcers, her stomach was in bits and she stayed in bed for a year-and-a-half.

Ms Lynch, after giving a portion of her evidence settled her action against Aer Rianta. It is understood the settlement was in the region of €15,000.
