Dublin Airport.

…via Dublin Live:

Dublin Airport suspended their key ‘expected wait time’ feature amid the ongoing security chaos.

Delays at the airport continued this weekend as many unhappy passengers took to Twitter to document their long wait times and missed flights.

Some are experiencing up to four-hour queues as staffing issues put pressure on operations which recently led to a cessation of the fast track option.

For the time being it is not possible to book fast-track security and advice to customers is still to allow extra time for these ongoing delays.

Dr Tony Holohan said there is “a substantial job to do” to issue a third vaccine to those over 40 who are at risk of severe infection and he asked them to come forward.

He said that “vaccines really work, particularly when boosted, in preventing infection from becoming severe infection and we expect that to be the case with Omicron”.

“Don’t put off the opportunity to be vaccinated if it comes your way,” he added.

On the afternoon of 29 November 1975, a bomb exploded in the public toilets in the arrivals terminal of Dublin Airport. It killed Aer Lingus worker John Hayes (38), who lived in Balbriggan, and injured nine others. According to bomb experts the bomb was hidden in a toilet tissue dispenser and went off after Hayes washed his hands and was about to leave. The blast ripped through a wall into a public bar where about thirty people were sitting. The airport was evacuated and a second bomb was found and safely detonated by a bomb disposal team.

Protesters against the new runway over noise issues at the official sod-turning for Dublin Airport’s North Runway in February, 2019

THis morning.

Restrictions on nighttime flights and a noise quota system are part of the plans for the operation of the new north runway at Dublin Airport

Via John Kilraine:

The proposals being put forward by the The Aircraft Noise Competent Authority (ANCA) are similar to those proposed by the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA).

There would be a complete ban on flights on the new north runway between midnight and 6am, apart from exceptional circumstances.

This would still allow flights during the busiest times at Dublin Airport, which are between 11pm and 11.30pm and 6am and 7am.
