Ryanair flight detained in virus probe

RYANAIR managers suffered very hot under the collar symptoms yesterday when a flight from France was held up for medical inspection amid swine flu fears.

The increased fever-like temperatures in the Ryanair office were caused not by influenza but infuriation when 166 passengers and crew were temporarily quarantined for one hour in Dublin after landing.

As the flight from Nantes was en route to Dublin, the captain radioed ahead to say that four of his passengers were ill.
