This is the moment a British passenger desperately apologises as he is thrown off a plane for allegedly slapping a flight attendant's bottom - only to brand her a 'paedophile'.

AIB has announced a €1bn share buyback, after reporting profits for last year of €2.139bn. Total income decreased to €4.5bn in 2025, from €4.9bn a year earlier, primarily driven by lower interest rates, AIB said. However, customer deposits increased 7pc to €117.2bn, total lending reached €72.3bn and new lending amounted to €14.7bn, of which 43pc was green, the bank said. The share buyback combined with cash dividends means shareholders will get a total distribution of €2.25bn for the year, more than the entire profit for the year, at a time of heightened geopolitical uncertainty.

AIB announced total shareholder distributions of €2.25bn , including a near-60% increase in its full-year cash dividend and a newly approved €1bn share buyback.
