Wallace and Daly to contest Shannon Airport charges

Independent TDs Mick Wallace and Clare Daly are to fully contest charges they unlawfully entered a restricted zone at Shannon Airport last July.

At Ennis District Court yesterday, Mr Wallace, 59, of Clontarf Rd, Clontarf, Dublin and Clare Daly, 46, of Elmwood Drive, Swords, Fingal, appeared concerning their alleged illegal entrance into a restricted area of Shannon Airport on July 22.

Solicitor for the two, Gareth Noble told Judge Patrick Durcan the matter “is to be fully contested” with the cases likely to last one day in the district court.
