Came through Dublin Terminal 1 on Friday 12 April. 70 minutes to get through security, which is one of my worst around the world for a long, long time. Three separate queueing areas to pass through sequentially, the first being a 20-minute queue to even get up to the entrance barriers. Several pax probably missed flights.
Plenty of investment in new entrance barriers, large number of security stations, miles of tensa barriers, etc. Shame nothing then left from the budget to man the security stations, more than 50% of which were unstaffed. Although one does wonder if all the extra personnel deployed to marshal all this queueing were used to staff these security stations instead, the queueing would be way reduced.
