Eight people arrested during a protest at Shannon Airport have been charged to appear in court at a later date.
Four women and four men aged between 21 and 56 were detained at the event, which took place amid a large security presence at the Midwest airport yesterday.
In a statement to Clare FM, a spokesperson for Shannon Airport has said there were no disruptions to airport operations.
“An Garda Síochána implemented planned road diversions, which allowed passengers to access the airport without issue.
“Passengers had been advised via the airport’s social media channels in the days leading up to the event to allow extra time for their journey and flights at the airport operated on schedule”, with “no delays or cancellations as a result of the event.”
