Passengers Will Have To Separate Liquids At Dublin Airport Again From Sunday

It says the EU is temporarily changing airport rules for carrying liquids in hand luggage, starting this Sunday.

Management at the airport says they hope the restrictions will only be in place for a short period and the EU will lift them as soon as possible.

Previously, the airport began introducing C3 scanners which would mean passengers would not have to remove liquids from hand luggage.

The airport operators have outlined that there will be slightly different rules, depending on which terminal the passengers pass through.

•  In Terminal 1, all liquids must be under 100mls, must put into a clear 1 litre bag and placed visibly within the security tray. Each passenger is limited to one 1 litre bag only. Large electrical items must be removed from bags.

• In Terminal 2, all liquids must be under 100mls, put into a clear bag, and placed visibly in the security tray. However, in Terminal 2 there is no limit on the number of bags or 100mls containers that a passenger can take through, while all electrical items can be left in hand luggage.

A spokesperson for DAA said: “We hope that these temporary restrictions are only in place for a short period and that the EU will be able to lift them as soon as possible.”

They added that passengers can follow any updates on the airport’s social media channels and websites.
