I am advised that the detention and sale provisions in Irish law are similar to those in UK law. Both are common law systems. Eurocontrol have also advised that Greece has a detention procedure and that Cyprus has legislation which will become effective on the entry into force of the revised convention which provides for detention of aircraft until judicial measures are taken against the operator and-or owner.
