Ex-US military men seek to have Shannon security-breach trial transferred to Dublin

Two elderly US military veterans are to apply to have their trials for an alleged security breach at Shannon airport transferred from Co Clare to Dublin.

On March 17 of this year, an alleged incursion at Shannon airport by an 82-year-old ex-US Marine and another ex-US serviceman shut down the airport for 45 minutes and resulted in delayed aircraft circling above the airport spending €4,000 on fuel.
