A transatlantic flight diverted to Shannon Airport this afternoon so that a passenger could be removed.
Air Canada flight AC-875 was travelling from Frankfurt in Germany to Montreal, Canada when the crew turned around west of Ireland.
The crew reported they had a passenger on board whom they believed was 'acting strangely’.
The Boeing 777 jet landed safely at 1.09pm and was met by airport fire crews who accompanied the aircraft to the terminal where Airport Police officers and Gardaí were waiting.
Gardaí spoke to the man who was not detained and later allowed to continue on his way.
The flight continued its journey without the man shortly after 3.00pm.
