Will be curious to see what contrivance of an excuse her lawyer puts forward when Dolores appears before the local District Judge.
Also, will EI allow her to fly the airline again?

Dolores has now been released into the custody of her mammy while the DPP (Director of Public Prosecutions) decides what to do with her.

It seems Dolores was doing quite a bit of arguing on the plane.
She got on wearing a 'superhero' mask ... and must have thought she was still one at the time she couldn't wait to leave the plane at SNN
... update from the Irish Times

It seems to me that Dolores O'Riodan tries to mimic Sinead O'Connor's signing style. Looks like she's also following Sinead's lead on bizarre conduct in public.
I still like both of them, though.

Flight attendant sues estate of deceased Cranberries star Dolores O'Riordan
The Cranberries were in the news yesterday for being the first Irish group set to pass the 1 billion views mark on YouTube (for Zombie).
Now this old story pops up again...

Carmel Coyne, of Cappagh Road, Galway, is also suing Aer Lingus over the incident on November 11th, 2014.

Colin Parry, the father of the older of the two boys killed in Warrington did not know until after O'Riordan died that Zombie was written in memory of Tim Parry and Jonathan Ball.
