Irish teacher avoids jail for airport protest against Gaza war, gets probation instead.

Irish history teacher Daithi Mac An Bhaird, 46, avoided a criminal conviction after obstructing traffic at Shannon Airport during a protest against the Gaza war. Judge Alec Gabbett imposed the Probation Act instead, after Mac An Bhaird admitted to the offense. He protested the lack of inspection of planes passing through the airport, despite an International Court of Justice call for an arms embargo.
