Air rage man gets suspended term

A man was given a suspended jail sentence today after pleading guilty to an air-rage offence on a flight between the United States and Ireland.

Mathew Chambers, 47, originally from Ennis, Co Clare, but now with an address in the Bronx, New York, was said to have been drunk and to have acted abusively and threateningly towards staff on an Aer Lingus jet en route from New York.
