Daily crisis management meetings will be held to get the security queues at Dublin Airport back under control.

The daa said in the meeting that they had seen an improvement in the wait times from last weekend.
However, "excessive" queues are still being seen at peak times, with the daa recruiting 100 additional security staff.
They also have plans to recruit nearly 300 more employees to try and bring the situation under control .
A statement from the Department of Transport said: "The Minister also engaged with her Departmental officials and met with the CEOs of Aer Lingus and Ryanair and the CEO designate of the IAA regulator today to get a broader assessment of the issues being experienced.
"The Minister and the Department will continue to monitor the situation over the coming days and weeks and plan to engage with daa daily to ensure that all that can be done is being done for passengers using Dublin Airport."
There have been numerous reports of long delays getting through the airport's security - some as long as three hours.
A passenger previously told Dublin Live that her flight was delayed because others couldn't get to the gate on time.
She said: "Our flight was delayed because so many passengers were not on board on time.
"A flight to Paris should not have been so much stress , it was mayhem! But I honestly think the staff are compassionate and it could have been way way worse only for there level of helpfulness."
