A log cabin builder has been arrested at an airport after an 'alcohol-related incident' on a Ryanair flight.

Brunonas Malinovskis was arrested at Dublin Airport on Friday after he was allegedly so drunk that staff feared he was endangering others.

The 26-year-old was in Terminal 1 at the airport around 7:20 p.m., where the incident is believed to have taken place while intoxicated, The Irish Mirror reported.

Following his arrest, Malinovsky was held in a cell overnight and taken to Dublin District Court where he appeared before Judge Patricia McNamara on Saturday.

Judge Patricia McNamara heard how he was accused of being intoxicated in a state that raised fears he could put himself and others at risk during Ryanair flight FR2972 from Lithuania in Dublin.

He was further charged with conduct likely to seriously offend or inconvenience anyone on board the plane, being told by the crew to stop, and being threatening, abusive or insulting.

The court heard that Malinovskys lived in Co Longford, but had a cottage building business based in Co Cavan.

Garda Joy McDonnell told Judge McNamara that the defendant "did not respond" when charged.

She did not oppose Malinovkis' release on bail and said she was happy with the address he gave - but asked for conditions which the judge agreed to impose.

Judge McNamara ordered him to check in with a Garda station once a week and "to have sober habits".

The defendant has agreed to the terms.

He has not yet indicated how he will plead and has been ordered to appear again in October.

If convicted, offenses can result in up to four months in prison and fines.
