EU Audit Finds Security Issues At Dublin Airport
A recent EU aviation security audit found two deficiencies within Dublin airport.
One issue has already been dealt with but today the Dublin Airport Authority said it w
ill take two months to bring the second, outstanding issue into line with the required security requirements due to its “technical” nature.
As a result, the commission is imposing some additional security procedures on aircraft departing from Dublin and arriving into other EU airports.
Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar said: “These additional procedures are not expected to have any significant impact on passengers at Dublin airport unless they are transferring through another EU airport en route to their final destination, in which case they will be required to undergo screening again.”
He added: “This does not impact on other airports in the State.”
Neither the Minister nor the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) would explain in detail the lapses identified during the European audit on security grounds.
