The Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan has been discharged from hospital and released without charge from garda custody following an alleged air rage incident.

Ms O'Riordan was arrested in Shannon this morning after coming off a flight from JFK in New York.

Gardaí were on standby at the airport, after they were notified that a passenger had become disruptive on board the Aer Lingus flight and had to be restrained.

A member of the cabin crew was brought to hospital for an x-ray on her foot.

A file in relation to the incident is being sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

The singer was taken to Shannon garda station this morning, where she was held under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.

David Raleigh has been following the story and spoke to Newstalk Lunchtime earlier.
