Brawl breaks out at Dublin Airport

Foxhound38 · 25-05-2022 9:16am #1

Just saw this story from the I do, apologies if it's been covered before - https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/man-hospitalised-another-arrested-following-daytime-fight-in-busy-dublin-airport-terminal-41685969.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=seeding

Have to admit, I felt pretty embarassed looking at the video. What the hell is any tourist going to think coming into the country and seeing that carry on? What about any kids around? Where the hell was the airport police?

Is it the case that there are just too many people going through the airport for staff to handle?

I thought they usually got the ferry.

Fair fight boss.

"What the hell is any tourist going to think coming into the country and seeing that carry on?"

They're lucky to get to see some indigenous Irish culture. Free floor show.

Was this our ethnic brethren?

Viscount Aggro · 25-05-2022 9:19am

Gardai and airport security were at the scene instantly.

After it ended!

Wait til the court case, 100 previous, sentence suspended, pavee point outraged at such injustice

It's bad when the general public have to step in. What took the airport police so long?

Theres heavy drinking in the airport bars, even see it early mornings.

Someone must have insulted a family member.

Ye without question they decided to sit that one out till it deescalated on it's own,

SimpleDimple · 25-05-2022 9:29am

Where were the airport security / police when all this was going on?

what the hell! · 25-05-2022 9:30am

Ah sure leave them alone, it's their culture...

griffin100 · 25-05-2022 9:30am

Did this happen before or after their slash hooks were confiscated at the gates?

Any other airport in western Europe there would have been police / security involved in seconds. Not in Dublin though.

topcat72 · 25-05-2022 9:32am

Serious lack of on floor security to allow this to go on for as long as it did ( given the length of the video clips ) . You would wonder how secure Dublin Airport is - given also the recent breaching of security with a ( test ) gun getting through security scanners. Should be a serious wakeup call .

UsBus · 25-05-2022 9:54am

I presume they were all allowed board their flights after that. Imagine starting your holidays next to that on a flight...rats

Did you even bother reading the story?

Mike Murdock · 25-05-2022 10:03am

Sure don't we all know that it is the Settled Communities fault that our indigenous ethnic minority act like this.

Staleturnips · 25-05-2022 10:04am

In fairness to guards and security staff with the scant resources and training they have you cant blame them being reluctant to break it up. These tinkers would only laugh at them

An Irish version of the Guardia Civil is required to deal with this scum. Riot gear, battens and let them have it.

Bunch of animals. Hope they're jailed.

I don't know how anyone can drink early in the morning. I've seen it at Dublin airport while I'm trying to force down some coffee and toast killing time before the flight. How anyone can drink pints or shorts at 5am is beyond me.

Terrontress · 25-05-2022 10:40am

I’m not sure that Airport Police are able to deal with such an incident, it would have to be the Gardaí.

I’ve been in enough English airports to see loads of police there with all manner of weapons. While they wouldn’t use a rifle on these boyos, they’d definitely be getting tasered to get them to stop.

I'm only surprised people weren't charged to watch the fight live

If there was ever a bunch of lads in such sore need of a decent tazering...

Paddigol · 25-05-2022 10:55am

You'd swear by the sort of comments above that if it wasn't for travellers we'd have no antisocial behaviour in this country. I'd stick the dirty, unemployed, tracksuit clad, Dublin scrotes top of the list for needing to be sorted out. Proper knackers.

Get Real · 25-05-2022 10:56am

Not sure I get the "where were the airport police" questions. Or guards.

In any event, its the scum in the video we should be blaming. Think about it, I could go pretty much anywhere right now and cause 4 or 5 mins of carnage

(but I wouldn't because I'm someone who'd be mortified at myself, and I don't have countless previous convictions)

I could step out my front door and brick at least ten houses to bits before anyone came. And that's not their fault, can't magic out of thin air. It'd be entirely my fault for my actions.

If people remember that car on fire in the tanning salon last week? Imo it's akin to waiting 15 seconds and shouting "fire brigade are useless, sure the place is gutted"
