Aer Lingus cabin crew member fails to overturn dismissal over pending drugs charge

Dublin Airport operator refused to reissue security pass following Garda vetting process

An Aer Lingus cabin crew member has failed to stop the airline terminating his employment after he was refused a security pass at Dublin Airport following a Garda vetting process.

DAA, the operator of Dublin Airport, had refused to reissue Lorcan Delaney with a security pass which airline staff require to enter restricted areas of the airport after the vetting process highlighted that he had a pending criminal prosecution for being in possession of a small quantity of cannabis and MDMA while attending a music concert at Slane Castle on June 8, 2019.
