An alleged crime fuelled by alcohol

The story of the radio DJ who is alleged to have committed an offence on an Aer Lingus plane makes it on to all the Irish newspapers today.

There is a photograph in 'The Irish Examiner' of the man driving a motorbike with no helmet. Surely that is an offence.

Not for a moment trying to ameliorate anything concerning the alleged crime, it's yet again another tale linked to alcohol abuse in Ireland.


The alleged act is an appalling crime and the comments made by Pat Kenny are unfortunate and most inappropriate.

Of course it is all linked with terrible arrogance and the idea that there are classes of people to whom the law does not apply. What was it the elderly US lady said about those who pay their taxes?

Why not tell us the drink consumed, the makers of the drink, the shops who supplied the drink?
