Air passenger ‘helped woman and son illegally immigrate to Ireland', court told
Rita Marouani (53) initially denied that she knew the pair when she went to a different immigration booth at Dublin Airport, but their boarding passes and fake passports were found on her, a court heard. An air passenger who allegedly helped a woman and her son to illegally immigrate to Ireland, where they then sought asylum, is facing trial for people-smuggling. Rita Marouani (53) initially denied that she knew the pair when she went to a different immigration booth at Dublin Airport, but their boarding passes and fake passports were found on her, a court heard. Judge Monika Leech ruled the case was too serious to be dealt with at Dublin District Court and adjourned it for further DPP directions. Ms Marouani, a mother of one and carer with an address in Germany, is charged with assisting the illegal entry of people into the State and possession of false documents. Dublin Airport. News in 90 Seconds - June 28th Garda Sergeant Derek Spain said the DPP consented to the case remaining in the District Court. Outlining the prosecution's case, he said a woman and her son arrived on an Aer Lingus flight from Germany on March 30 and entered the immigration hall. They presented at a booth with no documentation and claimed asylum. This woman denied knowing Ms Marouani who came off the same flight, approached a different booth and presented a German passport. The accused also denied having travelled with the other two passengers. However, it was alleged, she had boarding passes in their names and when further questioned, she produced four passports. Two were genuine Georgian passports and two were false Czech passports, the court heard. In interview, she said she was only helping the woman and her son because they were afraid to fly alone and she knew the woman's mother from Georgia. According to the prosecution, she alleged that the woman had placed the passports into her handbag without her knowledge. The accused denied getting any payment from the woman to assist her arriving in Ireland. The woman said she and her son had travelled here on the false Czech passports and paid €2,500 each for them to 'an unknown entity'. She stated she had got the passports in Georgia before travelling to Germany and when they arrived there, she handed all four passports to Ms Marouani but did not pay her any money. It was the two other people who benefited from the alleged offence and Ms Marouani 'didn't understand the gravity of the situation' and made a 'terrible decision'. The two were released but as they were not detained, they left and 'continued their journey' out of Ireland and into the UK.

Past time to lift Dublin passenger cap say American carriers
It is 'past time' for the Government to axe the controversial cap limiting Dublin Airport to 32 million passengers a-year, North American airlines warned on Wednesday. Airlines for America (A4A), whose members include US and Canadian carriers that fly to Dublin, said in a statement that it was bewildered at the cap remains despite Government pledges to lift it and widespread business condemnation of the planning condition. 'It is past time for the Irish Government to show leadership on this matter and take steps to remove the cap which hinders commerce, disrupts the seamless facilitation of passengers and threatens economic growth, jobs and tourism on both sides of the Atlantic,' said the group. 'It is critical that this matter be resolved swiftly to avoid long-term damage to the US-Ireland relationship, the aviation market and the broader transatlantic economy.' READ MORE A4A's comments follow a warning from Willie Walsh , the International Air Transport Association's Irish director general, that the cap was angering US airlines. Michael O'Leary , Ryanair chief executive, this week also renewed calls on the Government to lift the cap, a measure included in the Programme for Government.

Beauty fix: I want to bring my full skincare routine with me on holidays — can I just decant everything into little bottles?
Surprisingly, the answer to that is no, says Jennifer Rock, The Skin Nerd and founder of Skingredients. 'In principle,' she says, 'decanting your products is beyond genius, but in practice, it's just not a safe way to work with skincare, particularly for anything active. It compromises stability, potency and efficacy of the product. 'You're exposing ingredients to air and oxygen and also, when these products are formulated, they are checked and tested over and over in exactly the packaging it arrives in. We don't know how it will react with your little bottles, so with your actives in particular, like vitamin C, retinol, even your moisturiser, no.' You can decant away with your less ingredient-led stuff, such as shampoo, body wash, 'maybe your cleanser', Rock says. I'm going carry-on luggage and can't bring the bathroom cabinet, what are the must-haves? Carry-on luggage rules, when it comes to toiletries, skincare and make-up, mean that we can bring a single (approximately 20 x 20cm) plastic bag of liquids, gels and pastes into the cabin of the plane. As we all know, this little bag fills up fast, but it's worth noting that liquid, gel or paste medications can go into a separate bag with a prescription or doctor's letter. Also, these are the rules laid out by Dublin Airport and may differ in other countries and airports. Rock says she is the opposite of whittled-down when it comes to travelling with her toiletries, but her top advice is to prioritise your active skincare products – acids, serums, antioxidants, retinol – and, if you're going somewhere sunny, keep sun protection as your core concern. Does vitamin C really help with sun protection? 'Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and a natural photo [light] protector,' says Rock. 'So putting it on in the morning under your SPF helps to boost the resilience of your skin against excessive light. 'Antioxidants are crucial,' she says. 'The sun is beautiful and I'm not anti it, but it's the most oxidising piece we are exposed to, particularly on holiday.' Sun exposure causes oxidative stress, which damages skin cells and drives ageing and sometimes disease of those cells. Antioxidants create a protective barrier to stressors like UV rays before they can cause damage. Vitamin C is the antioxidant we hear about most and it's a key bit of your sun-holiday kit. Look for a 10-20pc level of vitamin C in your serum, she says, for good effectiveness. Some other antioxidants to look out for are vitamin E, niacinamide or ferulic acid. If retinol makes skin sensitive to sun, should I leave mine at home? Retinol is brilliant for diminishing the signs of sun damage, but because it promotes cell turnover, the new skin cells can be more sun sensitive. However, this does not mean you can't use your retinol on a sun holiday. It just means you have to be extra careful with sun protection. She advises against bringing too many acids on holiday, because they can be irritating in heat and sun, but Rock says she uses both vitamin C and retinol at night on holiday. This is harmless because she trusts herself to use her SPF and use it properly. So sun protection is the must-pack? 'SPF is the non-negotiable for the skin cancer stats, and also from the point of view of accelerating lines, wrinkles, redness and pigmentation,' Rock says, 'and the key thing to emphasise is the importance of reapplication and that's how much and how often. 'The average adult-size body needs 33ml of SPF for proper coverage and that's reapplied at most every two hours, or more often if you're swimming or sweating a lot. So if you think about 33ml each time, you're going to use more than one 100ml bottle on a week's holiday.' Remember, you can always buy big bottles of SPF at your destination, and the same goes for items like cleanser, body wash or deodorant. Skingredients 15% Vit C, E + Tri-Mushroom Brightening Anti-Ageing Booster 30ml, €45, and pharmacies nationwide This latest launch from the trailblazing Irish skincare brand contains antioxidant vitamins E and C – with the latter at an impressive concentration – but with the addition of reishi, chaga and cordyceps mushroom extracts. These are also antioxidants, as well as helping to reduce inflammation. Heliocare 360˚ Pigment Solution Fluid SPF50+ 50ml, €32.24, Boots, selected pharmacies This is an excellent sun-care brand, with a huge range of products for all ages, skin types and SPF needs. This product offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, but also has antioxidants, including niacinamide, an ingredient that is good for dark spots, with a lightly tinted, non-oily finish. Aveeno Calm + Restore Gentle PHA Exfoliating Cleanser, RRP€12.99, available nationwide Layering on the SPF can lead to a slightly congested skin, so a lightly exfoliating cleanser can be a holiday godsend. Some acids are a bit too strong in sun-drenched situations, but PHA (polyhydroxy acid) is gentle but effective in clearing dead skin cells without irritation. This is also a brand you can find easily anywhere in Europe or America.
