Aer Rianta say that the FoI doesn't apply to them, and I was under the impression that they're right unfortunately. Who's this Ms. Walsh?

Ideally we could get a look at what the police (hello Insp. Kennedy, still reading IMC?) have gathered about us on Pulse. When I was recently processed at Shannon police station they linked that arrest to some info they had on me from Dublin (the police man on the computer asked his colleague whether that could be the same Eoin Dubsky as this one... and then "linked" the records). I have never been arrested in Dublin.

Hmmmm.
