Dublin Airport officials have warned of “significant queues” for passengers arriving to the country’s main airport.
Some passengers are also being told that they could miss flights, due to the extent of the queues with 50,000 passengers expected to pass through the airport today (Sunday May 29).
In a statement, a spokesperson for the airport said: “Dublin Airport is experiencing significant queues for airline check-in, bag drop and security screening this morning as 50,000 passengers are expected to depart over the course of the day.
“Queuing outside both terminals has been deployed since early morning as part of Dublin Airport’s contingency plans for the increased numbers of passengers travelling.
Due to significant queues inside the terminal for check-in, bag drop & security, passengers queueing outside the terminal may not make their flight & may need to contact their airline to rebook. We sincerely apologise for the obvious frustration and inconvenience this may cause.
