Passengers travelling from Dublin Airport this weekend have been warned to arrive early due to ongoing delays at check-in there due to a heightened level of security.
The airport has tightened its security protocols within the past week after officials carrying out an audit at the airport managed to smuggle through objects including a knife and a fake bomb.
Intending travellers should arrive at least 90 minutes prior to their scheduled departure. This weekend is expected to be particularly busy at Dublin Airport.
A number of weekend sporting events may also bring some traffic congestion around venues, including a busy Croke Park, which hosts the rescheduled National Football League Division One semi-final between Armagh and Mayo on Sunday.
The match will be preceded by the Leinster under-21 football final replay between Dublin and Kildare. A high attendance is expected for both events.
