Roy Beggs Jnr.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roy Beggs Jnr. (born July 3, 1962) is a Northern Ireland Unionist politician, and the son of the politician Roy Beggs. He is currently an Ulster Unionist member of the Northern Ireland Assembly for East Antrim, which his father formerly represented in the Westminster Parliament.
In 2003 Beggs succeeded in having Irish rebel music removed from the in-flight entertainment of Aer Lingus. Beggs complained of the "Blatant promotion of militant, armed republicanism" on a music channel during a flight from Dublin to Boston after seeing that Derek Warfield had a radio channel dedicated to his music. Beggs, it was the same as "the speeches of Osama Bin Laden being played on a trans-Atlantic Arabian airline [1]."
Aer Lingus removed the material from their flights stating: "It is something that should not have been on board and we removed it immediately we became aware of it [2]."
