The 82 and 77 year-olds have been denied bail over St Patrick’s Day incident
of Arnold Drive, Woodstock, New York in custody after refusing bail applications for both.
They are charged with causing €2,500 worth of criminal damage to the airport perimeter fence at Shannon airport and unlawful trespass into a taxi-way at Shannon airport on March 17th. Defence solicitor Daragh Hasset said his clients, who were each wearing black and white “Veterans for Peace” tops in court, assured him they were “men of honour who have served in the US defence forces and will return to Ireland for their cases”.
Saying they are facing “very serious charges”, Judge Keane remanded the two men in custody to appear via video link from prison at Ennis District Court on Wednesday.
