Dublin Airport workers have been spat at, verbally abused and assaulted by irate passengers amid growing frustration over “chaotic” queues for security checks.
The claims were made by fed-up crews from some of the 600 security staff who want airport police and gardai to protect them from passengers turning nasty over missing flights.
Lengthy delays and disruption at Dublin Airport have been spiralling since they first emerged over the St Patrick’s Day holiday and have now reached crisis point, according to workers and their union reps.
