• Passengers are reminded that they must comply with the EU Aviation Security regulations concerning liquids.  In this regard passengers are advised to check the details of these regulations on www.dublinairport.com BEFORE setting out on their journey to the airport.

• Once again passengers are reminded to remove all sharp objects from hand luggage.  These objects should be packed into checked in luggage, in addition, all laptop computers must be removed from their outer casing for security screening.
