Dublin Airport ranked one of Europe's most stressful airports

Dublin Airport has been ranked as one of Europe's most stressful airports after coming under fire for massive delays leading to chaotic scenes.

Ireland's busiest airport ranks number two after London's Heathrow Airport, despite having significantly fewer annual passengers.

The recent staff shortages have led to huge wait times with passengers queuing for hours while going through security.
