At 18:45 local time, Ryanair aircraft FR3102 took off from Dublin and headed east towards Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
It is understood that the pilots were notified of a message indicating that the cargo door was open, as per @Shauns_Aviation on X.
Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft had to go through a number of holds before it could safely land in Dublin.
As of this writing (19/11/23 @ 1930 UK time), the aircraft is still on the ground, thus it is uncertain when the flight will proceed on to Amsterdam.
Update:

There are no signs that the cargo door was open, but the aircraft will be taken out of service for checks.
The door most likely didn’t open, it was probably a faulty sensor.#aviation #dublinairport #avgeek #emergency #diversion #plane https://t.co/rkPJa6iA8r
Following an examination of the aircraft, it was discovered that the cargo door was not actually open, suggesting that the cause may have been a malfunctioning sensor on the door. This will lead to the grounding of EI-DLC.
UPDATE #1 (20/111/23) at 09:43 UK time It appears that the Ryanair flight's problem was ultimately with one of the passenger doors rather than the cargo door.
