Dublin Airport has publicly apologised after pictures emerged of a disgusting baby changing station on a furious online post.
Kate Elliott was in the Irish airport travelling home to Northumberland with her 18-month-old when she was experienced the filthy baby change facilities, prompting her to take pictures of the scene. She took photos of the area at gate 110 in Terminal 1 at 8.30am on Monday, with representatives from Dublin Airport soon after rectifying the issue - reports Dublin Live.
Her mother-in-law Veron Elliott posted the images online to notify the airport of the mess, calling it "unhygienic and a health and safety hazard."

Dublin Airport responded soon after with photos of the facility after being cleaned and said the issue had now been resolved. They offered their "sincerest apologies" to the family and also said they "have asked our cleaning partners to keep a closer eye on this toilet - and all other toilets - in the terminals to ensure it does not happen again."
It emerged last week that some Dublin Airport cleaning staff had been moved from their roles to work airside at security as they had the correct passes to do so. DAA spokesman Graeme McQueen said on RTE Radio One last Friday that there is a "plan in place" to rectify issues with cleanliness at the airport.
"Those comments have been coming in every week," he said.
"I think people have had to be moved from cleaning and areas like that. These people would have the required passes to work airside so at the moment they're very valuable at security.
"Our number one priority at the moment is, and we want to apologise for this, to get people on their flights. That's the number one thing we're looking to do.
"The airport maybe isn't as clean as it would be at the moment but there's a plan in place to correct that over the coming days and weeks. So hopefully anyone flying anytime soon will see us getting back up to the standards that we would expect from ourselves and that they would expect from us as well."
Dublin Live has contacted DAA for comment.
