Dublin is a quirky little classic in its own little world. I don't know if you've visited recently, but we have our own little rule here: all umbrellas must be removed for separate screening. They must be removed from hand luggage/briefcases etc. Normally the security people open them as well. I have no idea what this is all about, but hey it's all good fun. My theory is that it's a "weirdo test", along the lines that anyone not carrying an umbrella in Ireland is definitely a strange individual.
