TDs Mick Wallace and Clare Daly facing jail over Shannon Airport breach

Independent TDs Clare Daly and Mick Wallace expect to be jailed next month over a security breach at Shannon Airport.

Mr Wallace, of Clontarf Road, Dublin, and Ms Daly, of Elmwood Drive, Swords, north Dublin, were found guilty of entering a restricted zone in July last year in a failed attempt to inspect a US Hercules C-130 and another military plane.

The pair used a 3.5m rope ladder to scale the airport’s perimeter fence, with Daly suffering cuts to two fingers and her lip in the climb.
