A 23-year-old man has appeared in court charged with criminal damage to a magnetic door lock, after attempting to run onto the tarmac at Dublin Airport.
Patrick Kehoe, with an address at Raheenaskeagh, Oulart, Gorey in Co Wexford, is accused of breaking the door at a boarding gate after arriving late for a Ryanair flight to Amsterdam on Thursday morning.
A Dublin Airport spokesperson said a man and woman arrived at the boarding gate after the flight had closed.
They said the man became agitated and broke through a door and made his way onto the apron, trying to flag the aircraft down.

He was initially restrained by Ryanair staff on the tarmac, before Airport Police arrived on the scene and arrested him.
He was then brought to Ballymun Garda station.
He appeared before Dublin District Court charged with criminal damage to a magnetic door at boarding gate 106.
He was released on bail to appear again on November 8th.
Judge Bernadette Owens directed the accused not to attend Dublin Airport in the meantime.
