Army personnel are expected to be drafted in to help out at security gates at Dublin Airport in the coming months as long queues continue to frustrate holidaymakers.
Despite Cabinet Ministers, including the Taoiseach previously stating the Defence Forces wouldn’t be called to help out, the Government has agreed for soldiers to get trained in case airport staff shortages due to Covid-19.
But groups representing members of the Army have said they want to know how they’ll be compensated.
