Mick Wallace considering another Shannon security breach

Just an hour after being granted temporary release from Limerick Prison, Mick Wallace said he would attempt to breech security at Shannon Airport again to search US military planes landing there.

Despite being jailed for 30 days for failing to pay a €2,000 fine following a conviction for scaling the fence at Shannon in 2014, the Wexford TD was given temporary release just two hours after being driven from Dublin to Limerick.

Mr Wallace had presented himself to Clontarf Garda Station where he was told he was being arrested. After being allowed to collect items such as clothing and books from his home which is close to the station, he was then driven by car with two gardaí to Limerick Prison and processed.
