Passengers travelling through Dublin Airport have reported long queues in recent days.
Over the weekend, some annoyed holidaymakers said they queued for up to two hours as lines extended out of the Terminal building and towards the car park.
Dublin Airport has hired new security staff in recent weeks after queueing chaos caused long delays in March.

However, there appears to still be issues with queues at peak times and many passengers complained about hefty delays on Sunday.
One passenger told Dublin Live: "It’s crazy queues from the car park to get through security and people checking in downstairs can’t get upstairs.
"The queue going down the glass tunnel into the car park. Health and safety issue there. Looks like we’ll have to camp overnight to make our flights."
Comedian Dara O Briain was also travelling through Dublin Airport during the weekend and said it took around 70 minutes to get through security,
He said: “Even more insane queues trying to fly out of Dublin. Important to say though, Dublin Airport, you should be on your knees, thanking your staff for the patience and charm with which they are handling this mess you’ve put them in.
"In T2, it stretched out of the building into the car rental area, so probably over an hour, 70 mins, just to get through security. Obviously do online check-in and save yourself doing that queue too."
A spokesman for the daa told Dublin Live that it was a “busy weekend” and advised passengers to arrive at the airport with plenty of time before their flight.
Graeme McQueen said: "It was another busy weekend at Dublin Airport, but queues moved well at security screening. We thank passengers for continuing to work with us as we move further into the busy summer season and remind anyone travelling in the days and weeks ahead to arrive at the airport in plenty of time ahead of their flight.”
