• Three returned for trial over criminal damage at Shannon Airport Criminal damage · Co. Clare

  On 22 November 2025, a Ford Transit van allegedly crashed through an airside barrier at Shannon Airport in Co. Clare and entered the apron, where green paint from a modified fire extinguisher was allegedly sprayed on a US Navy Reserve Boeing 737-700. Kaspar Aiden Cantwell Strattra (23), Emily Cathcart (23), and Conán Kavanagh (23) were arrested at the scene and charged with criminal damage to the aircraft and barrier and with entering the apron and Taxi 11 causing the closure of the airport. The three appeared at a special sitting of Ennis District Court on 23 November 2025, were remanded on bail, and the case was adjourned for DPP directions. The DPP directed the case to Ennis Circuit Court on indictment, and on 1 May 2026 the three were returned for trial.
