Dolores O'Riordan: ‘You can’t arrest me. I’m the queen of Limerick’

Cranberries singer Dolores O’Riordan has pleaded guilty to headbutting and spitting on a garda following an alleged air-rage incident, a court has heard.

The multi-million selling singer told officers during her arrest at Shannon Airport on November 10 last year that she was an icon and the queen of Limerick.

O’Riordan, who has since been diagnosed as suffering bipolar disorder, admitted four offences including assault and obstructing a garda during the incident following a flight from New York’s JFK Airport.
