Dublin closed due to 'radar breakdown'

Just read this on AP:

"The Irish Aviation Authority says air traffic controllers have closed down the runways at Dublin Airport after suffering chronic breakdowns on their radar screens.

Authority spokeswoman Lilian Cassin says the airport was shut down shortly before 2 p.m. (1300GMT) Wednesday because air traffic controllers could not see the codes used to label individual incoming aircraft.

The decision has forced dozens of flights to be grounded at other airports or diverted to other Irish airports. "
