Leona Maguire reunited with her golf clubs after Dublin Airport disaster

Leona Maguire has shared her delight at being reunited with her clubs after her golf bag had temporarily been lost over the course of a flight.

The Cavan woman raised the alarm on social media on Monday which thankfully sped up the process of them being found and returned to her.

Now she has shared the happy resolution to the brief saga.

Alongside it, she wrote: "Reunited with my babies! Massive thanks to everyone for all the help. Time to play some golf at The Evian Championship #backinbusinness"

The Evian Championship is one of five majors on the LPGA. Last year, Maguire finished in sixth place so she'll fancy her chances of claiming her first major title having already snagged her maiden win on the tour earlier this year.

The tournament begins on Thursday in France.

Leona's situation was just the latest in a long line of Dublin Airport debacles to make the news this summer.

With the army getting involved to speed up queuing times, dozens of flights being cancelled daily and reports of over 500 bags being lost daily, it's been a bad summer for the airport.

Many had felt the airport's initial reply to Maguire was unsatisfactory.

"Very sorry to hear this, Leona," Dublin Airports tweet began.

"Hopefully your airline is able to advise you soon on the whereabouts of your clubs."

"We do not have access to information regarding baggage as this function is looked after entirely by airlines and their handling partners."

Among the replies to that tweet were: "Nice offload there Dublin Airport, try harder to help this sportsperson."

While someone else wrote: "You could at least offer to see what you can do. Not a great look. Potential for some good press if it ends well and you have offered to help."

Lastly, another person added: "Simply not good enough. They got lost between check-in and take-off so clearly an issue on your behalf and nobody else."
