The airport has been under significant pressure recently as staff shortages have caused ongoing delays.

However, management have said the airport is hiring 300 new employees to come in the next month, taking the total at security to 900.

According to DAA, security queue times were around 45 minutes in both terminals on Saturday with a "controlled queueing system" in place.

Meanwhile, Dublin Airport management told the Irish Independent that security queues will not be longer than 30 minutes from early June.
