The crew of flight WX-5008/AF-5008 declared emergency reporting control problems while on approach to Dublin, because the nose wheel controls indicated the nose wheel was turned to the right. The pilot managed to keep the airplane on the runway despite the turned nose wheel using differential braking. The airplane stopped on the runway. Emergency services were deployed, but didn't need to jump to action.
