Cathal Crowe: The authority's updated advice seems to be incongruent with what airlines are offering. The current advice to passengers is to arrive two and half hours before their flights are due to depart and to allow an additional hour on top of that for a bag drop.

They were experiencing a problem but they were also part of the problem because five of them were sitting there on suitcases waiting for a desk to open, and that is totally incongruent with what has been said. Finally, I wish to refer to the 40 additional people because the situation is not clear from the opening statement and what has...
