I believe there is an industrial relations issue with the Gardai at the airport.
Count yourself lucky that you don't have dark skin [broken link removed]Just arrived back from Edinburgh last night at 10.00 pm. Ryanair ensured that the flight was about 10 minutes early and pretty much painless. We used the on-line check-in and everything worked like clockwork until we reached Dublin airport where hundreds of people were forced to queue for about an hour to have their passports checked.

I appreciate that passport control fulfils a necessary function, however, it must be possible to properly assign staff to passport control, to ensure that international travellers are not treated with total disregard.
We need to support the tourism industry here. We cannot compete on price, as we are now one of the more expensive travel destinations, however, there is no reason why extremely highly paid state employees cannot deliver a better service.
The day you do that he will be early.Based on the above posts, if the queue is taking this long, would it be advisable to factor this in when picking up someone from the airport? I ask because I have to pick my brother up on Jan 20th when he returns from Thailand and if he is going to be delayed for possibly an hour could I be cheeky enough not to leave for the airport until the time his flight arrives - save on the parking if so

Two questions:It is a disgrace that Irish tax payers and foreign tourists are being treated in this way by extremely highly paid public sector employees.
This has nothing to do with the Gardaí. As said earlier the issue is that the DAA have not got adequate facilities to deal with the various categories of incoming passengers.
