Passengers at Dublin Airport have been advised of changes to rules around liquids in hand luggage from this Sunday onwards.
In Terminal 1, all liquids must be under 100mls, put into a clear 1 litre bag (20cm x 20cm) and placed visibly within the security tray. Each passenger is limited to a single 1 litre bag only.
Large electrical items such as laptops and tablets should be removed from bags and placed in the security tray.
In Terminal 2, all liquids must be under 100mls, put into a clear bags, and placed visibly in the security tray.
However, in Terminal 2 there is no limit on the number of bags or 100mls containers that a passenger can take through, while all electrical items can be left in hand luggage.
Speaking about the changes and what they mean for passengers, Dublin Airport managing director Gary McLean said: "These changes, which apply to all airports in Ireland and Europe with C3 scanners, are being introduced at a time when the roll-out of new C3 scanners is ongoing at Dublin Airport.
"That roll-out is at different stages in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, which means the guidance for passengers is slightly different depending on what terminal they are departing from.
"In Terminal 2, all of the security lanes in operation are now fitted with new C3 scanners, so all passengers are assured of using a C3 scanner. However, in Terminal 1, due to the age of the building, the roll-out is taking slightly longer, so it cannot be guaranteed whether a passenger will go through a lane with C3 scanners installed or the older technology.
"As previously communicated, the rollout of C3 scanners across both terminals is on track for completion by October 2025.
"We want all passengers to have a smooth journey through Dublin Airport. By following our advice and preparing in advance for security screening, passengers can prevent unnecessary delays in getting through to their flight. Further details on how best to prepare for airport security can be found on the Dublin Airport website."
