Two men appeared in court this morning charged with assaulting the pilot of an Aer Arann flight at Dublin Airport last month.
Both defendants were remanded on continuing bail at Dublin District Court to appear again on November 8th.
Gardaí gave evidence in court of the arrest, charge and caution of Mr Shane O'Flynn (20) and Mr James Graham (22) over the alleged incident on August 14th.
They were both charged with assault, causing harm to Captain Carl Murphy under Section 3 of the Non Fatal Offences Against the Person Act.
The court heard the alleged incident took place before the departure of the Aer Arann flight from Dublin to Cork at 2.30pm.
Garda Peter Dunphy said Mr O'Flynn from Latunda Crescent, Clonsilla, Dublin 15 made no reply to the charge after caution.
Garda Brendan Casey said Mr Graham, of Dean Rock Villas, Togher, Cork, replied "not guilty" when charged under caution.
