Must be a slow news day. There were VERY high winds that day in Ireland and they were above the crosswind landing limitations of the airplane. Crew did what they had to do and didn't force the issue.
Are Xwind performance numbers considered a limitation? I don't have any jet experience but it seems like every P.O.H. I've seen points out that the max tested X-wind figures are not a limitation. That being said, they went around twice because they didn't feel it was safe to land.
