The daa says it will "cooperate fully" with any investigation into claims that security screening at Dublin Airport is “not fit for purpose” and leaves risks for a possible terrorist attack.
According to a report in the Irish Independent, Transport Minister Eamon Ryan has been informed of a claim that screening at the airport is in a “critical situation”. The report claims a whistleblower has made a protected discloses which claims there possible gaps in screening which could allow explosive devices to slip through and on board flights. The protected disclosure was made in June and Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) is currently investigating the claims.
A daa spokesperson said they will cooperate fully with any investigation "but any allegations under a protected disclosure should remain to be allegations only, until such claims are fully investigated and ultimately resolved".
