Many of the passengers are still stuck in the UK and are trying to make arrangements to get home to Ireland
A number of Irish families have been left stranded in the UK since the weekend after their plane failed to land at Dublin Airport FOUR times on Sunday last.
After a very turbulent flight, the pilot tried to land the plane on two occasions but failed to do so after circling around Dublin for almost two hours. A FOURTH attempt was then made but once again this failed and the captain informed passengers that it was a procedure not to try a third time.The plane touched down at Birmingham Airport and Darren said by that stage they had simply had enough and himself and his wife demanded to be allowed off the plane.
He said that each piece of their luggage had to be taken off manually by staff at Birmingham Airport whom he had nothing but praise for.
