An Aer Lingus air steward has failed to get a High Court injunction over his purported dismissal a year ago after his airside pass was not renewed following a Garda vetting process.
He was arrested the previous June at the Slane Music Festival in Co Meath and was charged. The case was dismissed in May when a judge accepted the drugs were for personal use and that he had not come to Garda attention previously. Refusing the injunctions, Mr Justice Senan Allen said he was not persuaded that Mr Delaney had established that he would be exposed to a real risk of injustice if the injunctions were not granted pending full trial.The judge did not accept the argument that he had originally been put on unpaid leave by reason of the pending drugs charge but rather he had been repeatedly warned he would be taken off the payroll if he could not fly due to not having a pass.
