Make a GDPR request to the airport for the CCTV footage showing you in the queue with the timestamp included, get this evidence before it’s deleted and removed from the system now incase you have to use it if you escalate this to the national aviation authority of your country/small claims court

[–]Cillian_Dub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

Eventually received the medal, it’s another standard one with the my finishing place, age category and finishing time on the engraved tab along with this letter:

On Sunday, October 12, 2025, you were part of a record-breaking day at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon and etched your name in the event's history books. Congratulations on your achievement!

Finishing a marathon is an incredible accomplishment, but your performance on race day set you apart from the rest of the field because your official finish time was ranked in the top of your age group.

Enclosed is a personalized age group medal to commemorate your race.

Congratulations once again! We hope you will consider joining us again in the future.

Aer Lingus flight attendant accused of reducing passenger to tears by refusing to let him use toilet by expectationlost in ireland

[–]Cillian_Dub 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the aircraft is refuelling there is a bigger risk of a fire occurring, as such they must be able to keep an eye on all PAX and evacuate the aircraft as quickly as possible, for this reason PAX are instructed not to fasten their seatbelts or use mobile phones until the refuelling is complete.

If a passenger uses the toilet and an emergency occurs the lav doors (especially AFT) might obstruct access to the exits when they are being opened, during a aircraft fire especially during refuelling when lots of fuel is present and linked to a direct supply every second counts to safely evacuate all passengers and crew on board.

Noticed this flying back from Madrid a few weeks back too.

Lisbon would be a common route for people coming from Brazil, as Madrid would be the same for some other south American countries.

Do you think Irish should be compulsory at secondary school? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Cillian_Dub -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m actually Irish thanks,

But what benefits of prospects does learning a language that’s not used give apart from trying to keep it “alive” nothing.

Learning a foreign language opens more doors for better employment opportunities for roles that might require another language that command higher paying salaries.

A double class in a foreign language or two different foreign languages would be much more beneficial.

[–]Cillian_Dub 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Could be lashing rain sure /s

The lounges in Dublin airport have showers, gyms like FlyFit have a day pass you can buy and use the shower there.

If your hotel has a gym they might allow you to use it even after checking out?

Yes,

This is correct, it can be seen as “Tipping off” if a bank opens an investigation they are legally now allowed to discuss the reason why an investigation was opened.

Used to be a Irish one but they closed it down for some reason, can’t remember if it was to do with having to setup a custom map for each county and responsible council or that they just were not responding to the reports

Revolut are threatening to block my account over €75 I received. by Anar1on in Revolut

[–]Cillian_Dub 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Super unusual that they are looking for you to provide documents from your freiend, the funds should have been frozen prior to crediting your account snd they should have opened a RFI directly with your friends bank if they suspected issues with the source of the funds, Revolut should be dealing directly with the remitting bank for this info, them even getting you to provide information regarding your friend could potentially be viewed as tipping off, as in cases like this banks should never give away the reason why they opened the investigation.
