Dublin Airport workers have been spat at, verbally abused, and physically assaulted by irate passengers amid frustrations at unprecedented queues.
The accusations were made by fed-up crews from the airport’s 600 security staff who want airport police and gardai to protect them from passengers who cannot control their anger at missing flights.
Never-before-seen levels of 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.
