Dublin Airport is urging passengers not to arrive excessively early for their flights as the busy Easter weekend kicks in.
Half a million people are set to travel in and out of the airport between now and Monday as management continues to deal with staff shortages.
Passengers are advised to arrive up to three and a half hours before their flight.

But morning travellers, that are due to fly from 8.30am onwards, are being asked not to arrive into the terminals before 5am.
Eoghan Corry, Editor of Air and Travel Magazine, says people coming earlier than needed ended up putting more pressure on security.
"The real problem last weekend was people turning up 4 or 5 hours early."
He says the DAA open just two security tunnels before 6am, so arriving early will only add to queues.
