At Dublin Airport, travellers retaliated following lengthy delays brought on by a power failure.
Due to a power outage on Sunday, passengers arriving at and departing from Dublin Airport were advised that "delays were likely."
Following significant delays brought on by an airport power failure on Sunday morning, travellers at Dublin Airport have retaliated against the airport.
After an ESB interruption earlier this morning, power was restored, and Dublin Airport reported shortly after midday that operations in Terminal 2 had resumed as usual.

The boarding, security, and check-in procedures were said to be operating, but they were taking longer than normal because there were many passengers that needed to be attended to.
The airport issued a warning, saying that while T1 flights are unaffected, delays are anticipated in T2 this afternoon. It is urged that passengers scheduled to depart this afternoon go to the airport as usual.
The Undervoltage in the ESB Network, which may have resulted in a control system malfunction that prevented Dublin Airport's backup generator from starting, as it has done during past power failures, was the cause of the airport's outage, which happened at around 7:50 am.
Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) expressed regret to any travellers who were impacted by the problems this morning.
"Passengers seeking updates regarding specific flights should always contact their airline directly," an airline representative stated.

Even after the disruption, when the electricity was restored, several travellers were still running late for their flights.
"Almost certainly not back to normal inside T2: massive security lines followed by massive US pre-clearance queues snaking all the way back to the shopping zone," wrote one traveller.
Another exclaimed, "Mayhem! US lines that stretch a mile. The flight departs in twenty-one minutes, and at Gate 335—the gate from which a bus to a different gate is taken—people are still waiting on shuttle buses.

"Not back to normal, Turkish plane had to park out on the runway, passport machines playing up, long delays for bags," a third person commented. DAA ought to visit Tbilisi Airport to observe best practices in airport management.

"Four hours to get through to the gate, then unannounced gate change to an hour (and counting) delay," expressed the annoyance of another fan. Never pretend that everything is back to normal.
A fifth, however, said: "Premature news, it's still chaotic. Passengers are courteous, but obviously, it's a DAA failure. There are not enough staff to help and advise."
