Dublin Man In Self-Isolation After Spending 4-Hour Flight Sitting Beside A Culchie

A 63 year-old Dublin man has told of his shock when he became aware he had just spent a 4-hour flight from Moscow to Dublin sitting beside a culchie. Brendan Donnelly from Cabra spoke exclusively to us about his ordeal and said the whole experience has left him shaken.

“He was right beside me. Inches away. In fact it’s fair to say we probably brushed against each other a couple of times when I went to the toilet as he was sleeping. Just talking about it gives me the willies.”

Mr. Donnelly said he spent the flight watching a movie and then listening to music while having a couple of drinks, completely unaware of the grave situation the airline had placed him in.

“He slept the whole flight. If I had heard him speaking bogger obviously I would have asked to be moved to the other end of the plane but he never opened his mouth and there were no visible signs of cowshite on his clothes so I was none the wiser.”

Brendan said he only became aware of the danger he had been in when the culchie said something to him after the plane had landed.

“As we got up to go he mumbled some incoherent gibberish at me and then laughed. That’s when my heart sank. I suddenly realised I had just spent 4 hours in a confined space breathing the same air as a bleedin culchie.”

Mr. Donnelly said he has been in self-imposed isolation in his house ever since and believes the airline should foot the bill for his time off work.

“This sort of thing should never happen.” he told us. “Surely culchies can be sectioned off from the rest of us or even better wait ’til there’s enough of them and put them all on their own flight together. It’s too late for me now, my life is probably ruined but hopefully someone in authority is reading this and will take action so nobody else ends up like me.”
