Abashushisi balimale ngendlela ngecala ngosuku lwesibili lokuqulwa kwecala likaShannon Two. Njengoba ummeli wezokuvikela sewuvele uzibeke ezitatimendeni eziningi eziyiqiniso ubufakazi obekumele buziswe, ulwazi olusha olusha olutholwe yijaji kofakazi banamuhla ukuthi abamangalelwa uKen Mayers noTarak Kauff babeyisibonelo sokuboshwa, ukujabulisa, ukusebenzisana, nokuvumelana, futhi ukuthi isikhulu sezokuphepha esikhumulweni sezindiza akazi noma izikhali zihamba esikhumulweni sezindiza uyagada.
UMayers noKauff baboshwa ngoMashi 17, 2019, esikhumulweni sezindiza saseShannon ngokuya esikhumulweni sezindiza ukuyohlola noma iyiphi indiza ehlobene namasosha ase-US eyayisesikhumulweni sezindiza. Ngesikhathi bengena esikhumulweni sezindiza bekunezindiza ezimbili zamasosha ase-US esikhumulweni sezindiza, eyodwa ye-US Marine Corps i-Cessna jet, neyodwa yase-US Air Force ezokuthutha i-C40 kanye neyodwa i-Omni Air International enenkontileka yamasosha aseMelika abakholelwa ukuthi ithwala amasosha nezikhali isikhumulo sezindiza lapho beya ezimpini ezingekho emthethweni eMpumalanga Ephakathi, bephula ukungathathi hlangothi kwe-Ireland kanye nomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe. Ohulumeni base-US nabase-Ireland, kanye noMnyango Wezangaphandle Wase-Ireland (owagunyaza ukugcwaliswa kwendiza yezempi yase-US e-Shannon) bagcina inganekwane yokuthi azikho izikhali eziqhutshwa endizeni yezempi yase-US, nokuthi lezi zindiza azikho. ukuzivocavoca kwezempi hhayi ekusebenzeni kwezempi. Kodwa-ke noma ngabe lokhu bekuyiqiniso, khona kanye ukuba khona kwalezi zindiza ezidlula esikhumulweni sezindiza i-Shannon zisendleleni eya endaweni yempi kwephula ngokusobala imithetho yamazwe ngamazwe yokungathathi hlangothi.
Ngokungachazeki, uMnyango Wezokuthutha wase-Ireland, ogunyaza ukugcwaliswa kukaphethiloli kwendiza yabantu efakwe enkontilekeni yezempi yase-US ukuthutha amasosha ngesikhumulo sezindiza i-Shannon futhi igunyaza iqiniso lokuthi iningi lamasosha ase-US ahamba ngalezi zindiza aphethe izibhamu ezizenzakalelayo nazo esikhumulweni sezindiza sase-Shannon. Lokhu futhi kwephula ngokusobala imithetho yamazwe ngamazwe emayelana nokungathathi hlangothi futhi kuphinde ngokungangabazeki kwephula umthetho wokuvinjelwa koMnyango Wezangaphandle Wase-Ireland mayelana nokuthuthwa kwezikhali zezifundazwe ezilwayo endaweni yase-Ireland.
Laba balisa ababili bawaphikile amacala okulimaza, ukungena ngokungemthetho, nokuphazamisa ukusebenza nokuphepha kwesikhumulo sezindiza.
Umshushisi wethula ofakazi abayisishiyagalombili ngosuku lwesibili lwecala eNkantolo Yesifunda YaseDublin—abathathu bakwaGarda (amaphoyisa) basesiteshini sendawo saseShannon no-Ennis Co Clare, Amaphoyisa amabili aseShannon Airport, kanye nomphathi wesikhulu sezindiza, umphathi waso wokulungisa, kanye nomphathi waso. isikhulu sezokuphepha.
Ubufakazi obuningi buphathelene nemininingwane njengokuthi baqale babonwa nini abahlaseli, ukuthi babizwe ngobani, bathathwa nini futhi kuphi, bafundelwa kangaki amalungelo abo, nokuthi imbobo ewuthango lomngcele wesikhumulo sezindiza abangena ngayo enkundleni yezindiza. yalungiswa. Kuphinde kwaba nobufakazi mayelana nokuvalwa kwesikhashana kokusebenza kwesikhumulo sezindiza kuyilapho abasebenzi basesikhumulweni sezindiza benza isiqiniseko sokuthi abekho abanye abasebenzi abangagunyaziwe esikhumulweni sezindiza, nezindiza ezintathu eziphumayo kanye nendiza eyodwa engenayo ezibambezeleke ngehora lesigamu.
Abezokuvikela sebekuvumile kakade ukuthi uKauff noMayers "babe nesandla ekuvuleni uthango olubiyelwe," nokuthi ngempela bangenile "i-curtilage" (umhlaba ozungezile) wesikhumulo sezindiza, nokuthi babengenazo izinkinga. ukuboshwa kwabo kanye nokuphathwa kwabo ngamaphoyisa, ngakho obuningi balobu bufakazi abuzange budingekile ukuze kutholakale lezi zindaba njengeqiniso okwakuvunyelwene ngalo.
Lapho bephekwa ngemibuzo, abameli bezokuvikela, uMichael Hourigan noCarol Doherty, besebenzisana nabameli uDavid Johnston noMichael Finucane, bagxile kakhulu ezindabeni ezazibangele ukuthi uMayers noKauff bangene enkundleni yezindiza—ukuthuthwa kwamasosha nezikhali nge-Ireland engathathi hlangothi. indlela yabo eya ezimpini ezingekho emthethweni—kanye neqiniso lokuthi bobabili babehileleke ngokusobala ekubhikisheni. Umbutho wezokuvikela uveze iphuzu lokuthi kwakwaziwa ukuthi izindiza zenkampani yezindiza i-Omni zaziqashwe amasosha ase-US futhi zithwala amasosha aye eMpumalanga Ephakathi, lapho i-United States yayiqhuba izimpi nemisebenzi engekho emthethweni.
URichard Moloney, oyisikhulu sezomlilo saseShannon Airport, uthe indiza yakwa-Omni uKauff noMayers abebefuna ukuyihlola "izoba khona ngenhloso yokuthutha amasosha." Uqhathanise iShannon Airport “nesiteshi esikhulu sikaphethiloli esibhakabhakeni,” ethi “sibekwe endaweni ekahle emhlabeni—ibanga elifanele ukusuka eMelika kanye nebanga elifanele ukusuka eMpumalanga Ephakathi.” Uthe izindiza zamasosha e-Omni zisebenzisa i-Shannon “ukumisa uphethiloli noma ukuma kokudla lapho zilibangise eMpumalanga Yurophu naseMpumalanga Ephakathi.”
UShannon Garda Noel Carroll, owayeyisikhulu sokuqala esibophayo endaweni yesigameko, wayesesikhumulweni sezindiza ngaleso sikhathi enza lokho akubiza ngokuthi “ukuvikela eduze kwezindiza ezimbili zamasosha aseMelika” ezaziku-Taxiway 11. Wachaza ukuthi lokhu kwakuhilela ukuhlala “eduze. ukusondela” ezindizeni ngenkathi zisendleleni yamatekisi nokuthi izisebenzi ezintathu zamasosha nazo zabelwa lo msebenzi. Lapho ebuzwa ukuthi wake wadingeka yini ukuba agibele enye yezindiza zamasosha aseMelika eShannon ayoyihlolela izikhali, waphendula, “Ungalokothi.”
Ubufakazi obumangalisa kakhulu bavela kuJohn Francis, Isikhulu Esiyisikhulu Sezokuphepha Sesikhumulo Sezindiza e-Shannon kusukela ngo-2003. Esikhundleni sakhe, unesibopho sokuphepha kwezindiza, ukuphepha kwe-campus, nezinhlelo zokuphepha, futhi uyindawo yokuxhumana no-Garda, amabutho ahlomile, nezinye. izikhungo zikahulumeni.
Ubalule ngesikhathi ebuzwa ukuthi uyazi ngokwenqatshelwa kokuthuthwa kwezikhali esikhumulweni sezindiza ngaphandle kokuthi kukhululwe okuthile, kodwa wathi ubengazi noma ngabe zikhona yini izikhali ezithuthwa ngesikhumulo sezindiza noma ngabe kukhona yini ukukhululwa okwake kwenzeka. kunikiwe. Wathi izindiza zamasosha akwa-Omni “zazingahleliwe,” futhi “zingavela noma nini,” nokuthi “wayengeke azi” uma indiza ethwele izikhali iza ngesikhumulo sezindiza noma ukuthi kukhona yini ukukhululwa okuvunyelwe. ukuvumela ezokuthutha.
Amajaji aphinde alalela nobufakazi obuvela kwabanye ofakazi abahlanu abashushisi: Isikhulu Sezokuphepha Esikhumulweni Sezindiza uNoel McCarthy; URaymond Pyne, Umphathi Wesikhumulo Sezindiza Owathatha isinqumo sokuvala ukusebenza isigamu sehora; U-Mark Brady, uMphathi Wokulungiswa Kwesikhumulo Sezindiza owengamele ukulungiswa kocingo oluwumngcele, kanye no-Shannon Gardai Pat Keating no-Brian Jackman, bobabili abasebenze “njengeLungu Eliphethe,” abanomthwalo wemfanelo wokuqinisekisa ukuthi amalungelo ababoshiwe ayahlonishwa nokuthi abaphathwa kabi.
Ngaphandle kokugxila komshushisi ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi uMayers noKauff banqamule imbobo ocingweni futhi bangena enkundleni yezindiza ngaphandle kokugunyazwa, amaqiniso abawavuma kalula, kubamangalelwa, udaba oluphakathi kwecala luqhubeka nokusetshenziswa kwe-US kwesikhumulo sezindiza iShannon njengesikhungo samasosha. , okwenza i-Ireland ibe nesandla ekuhlaselweni kwayo ngokungemthetho nemisebenzi yayo. Mayers uthi: “Into ebaluleke kakhulu engaphuma kuleli cala kungaba ukuqashelwa okwengeziwe kwabo bobabili abameleli abakhethiwe base-Ireland kanye nomphakathi ngokubaluleka kokungathathi hlangothi kwabantu base-Ireland kanye nosongo olukhulu oluvezwa ukusetshenziswa kabi kohulumeni base-US emhlabeni wonke. .”
UMayers uphinde waphawula ukuthi isu lezokuvikela kwakulelo “zaba ezisemthethweni,” okungukuthi babenesizathu esizwakalayo ngesenzo sabo. Leli qhinga, elaziwa e-United States ngokuthi “ukuvikela okudingekayo,” alivamile ukuphumelela emacaleni okubhikisha e-United States, njengoba amajaji evamisile engeke avumele ukuzivikela ukuthi siphishekele leyo mpikiswano. Uthe, “Uma ijaji lisithola singenacala ngenxa yezinhlinzeko zomthetho zase-Ireland zokubeka izaba ezisemthethweni, yisibonelo esinamandla okufanele futhi silandelwe yi-United States.”
Kube nenye indikimba eyodwa evele ebufakazini namuhla: I-Kauff ne-Mayers ichazwe emhlabeni wonke njengehloniphekile futhi inokubambisana. Kusho uGarda Keating, "mhlawumbe babengabagcini ababili abangcono kakhulu engake ngaba nabo eminyakeni engama-25." Isikhulu Sezicishamlilo Samaphoyisa Esikhumulo Sezindiza uMoloney saqhubeka: "Kwakungeyona i-rodeo yami yokuqala enabantu ababhikisha ukuthula," esho, kodwa laba ababili "babengabantu abahle futhi benesizotha kunawo wonke engake ngahlangana nawo eminyakeni engu-19 e-Shannon Airport."
Icala lizoqhubeka ngo-11 ekuseni ngoLwesithathu zingama-27th April 2022
