EI, up to about two months ago I rated DUB security as the best among the airports I pass through, no question. However, since then it is by far the worst and I didn't know what was going on until I saw the Ryanair comments following the DAA's admission. (BTW, I am talking T1, can't speak for T2).
I can guarantee you that 40 minutes is not way off the mark. My worst was 37 minutes (I began to time it after the first time) and my best was 28. On both occasions only 4 out of 14 channels were open and I have never seen more than 5 open at the same time.The periods concerned would have been between 6am and 10am. I think you would have to agree that this is completely unacceptable.
The airport has always been plagued by this kind of union intransigence and it is high time they shaped up or are shipped out.
