Minibus with passengers stolen at Dublin Airport

Clarence Boddiker

Three people were taken hostage in the early hours at Dublin Airport .
They were held on a bus while the hostage takers allegedly demanded money. The passenger were allowed to leave and the hijackers fled across the border.

What a stupid clickbaity headline.


Bus stolen at Dublin Airport, passengers still on board got caught up in it, would be more like it.


Very frightening for the passengers, but they weren't taken hostage.

Well they only let them out at Julianstown, so they were hostages for a while!!

Complain to the Irish Independent then, their headline reads
"Three people taken hostage after hotel bus was hijacked at Dublin Airport"
Irish Times is similar "Three hostages taken as mini-bus hijacked at Dublin Airport"

Scary ordeal for the passengers, no matter how long it lasted.

The Indo really is a f**king rag though. I like how the 'hijackers' become 'thieves' after they let the passengers out in Julianstown.

I’d say the worst part of it for the “hostages” was being left in Julianstown.

So they were heading up north on the M1, but got off the motorway to go through Julianstown/Drogheda... strange. Mustn't have wanted to pay the toll !

This is a very odd event. If someone wanted transport home from the airport the whole taking of people as well hugely complicated things. One wonders what sort of substance these hijackers were on.

Definitely not a northie then, those lads just ride the bumper of the car in front and follow though the express lane.

As two people have been arrested and indeed as some posters want to turn this into a discussion over the background of the arrested men, I'm closing the thread
