Dolores O’Riordan faces court over ‘air rage’

The DPP has directed that Dolores O’Riordan should face prosecution for alleged assault arising from an air rage-related incident at Shannon airport last November.

After considering the matter for five months, the DPP has recommended that the Cranberries singer, aged 43, face three separate minor assault or Section 2 assault summonses under the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997, dating from November 10 2014.

Ms O’Riordan is also to face an additional summons of resisting arrest at Shannon on the same date.
