The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

They can't be taken away from life and then suddenly by the age of 12, 13, 14, 15, suddenly supposed to be able to adapt in those environments.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

And I think parents should be allowed to still engage with life.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

But I think common sense prevails.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

I mean, if they're given out for a minute or two and you're doing your best to calm them down, everybody chill out.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

If it's 10 minutes and they're ruining everybody's day, one of you get up and walk outside.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

I think that's common sense.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

That's common courtesy.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

That's common respect.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

But to reiterate, my child has never done any such a thing.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

Yeah, well, yeah, one of the things they said was, I'm ready, I'm ready now, I need this, I'm Irish, as he was squaring up, I think, to a Cabin Crew member as part of this.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

I think, I suppose, it poses two questions.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

One is, is the Mike Lowleary thing of...

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

restricting alcohol in the airport before flights.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

So that was his idea, which is there should be a limit on how much you can drink before you get on the flight because these people came onto the flight already drunk, which was just maybe they should have been stopped getting onto the flight in the first place.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

Of course, Michael Leary doesn't say we should restrict the amount of alcohol you can buy on his flights because that's his purchase rather than the airport's.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

But obviously the idea of people being very, very drunk and boisterous on flights, it doesn't always end in escalated to a fight, but it can be very unpleasant for people and families in particular who are on those flights.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

So the idea of alcohol and flying is part of it.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

And then I suppose the idea of a register does raise the question of, you know,

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

How much of a right is the right to fly?

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Week Trending: Fewer Marriages, Tipping Culture & Bad Behaviour on Planes

You know, how much of it is that, you know, airlines should be able to make choices about their customers, I suppose, their passengers they bring on?
