Man to appear in court over Dublin airport ebola hoax

A 56-year-old man who was arrested in connection with an incident on board an aircraft at Dublin Airport today is expected to appear in court tomorrow morning.

He was arrested earlier along with two women in connection with an Ebola hoax on a plane from Milan.

The man had shown a plastic cup to a flight attendant marked "Attentione Ebola".

The plane was cordoned off on the tarmac for an hour, while an investigation involving Airport police, the HSE and the Dublin Airport Authority was carried out.

Two women, aged 51 and 23, who were also arrested in connection with the incident were tonight released without charge.
