People intending to travel from Dublin Airport on Sunday, 21 September may continue to face further disruptions following Saturday's evacuation of Terminal 2 due a security alert and the cyber attack which has been impacting airports across Europe.
A concerning item of airline luggage prompted an evacuation of all passengers at Terminal 2 at the airport on Saturday. Following a careful examination by An Garda Síochána and the Defence Forces' Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team, the terminal was eventually given the all-clear for passengers and operations resumed on Saturday afternoon.
In an unrelated incident, airports across Europe were targeted in a suspected cyber attack on Saturday which impacted a provider of check-in and boarding systems. Dublin Airport and Cork Airport were affected by the attack alongside London Heathrow, Brussels and Berlin airports.
The disruptions to check-in, boarding and baggage drops at Terminal 2 are continuing to impact passengers on Sunday.

"Some airlines in Terminal 2 are continuing to use manual workarounds to generate bag tags and boarding passes. This means that the check-in and bag drop processes may take slightly longer than normal."
The airport added that passengers should plan to arrive to the airport as normal on Sunday, however those who need to check-in or drop off bags should allow for extra time.
Dublin Airport said it is expecting to operate a full schedule on Sunday after a number of cancellations and delays on Saturday, although passengers are advised to contact their airline directly for updates on their flight.
