We have now had sight of the four-point plan by the Dublin Airport Authority, DAA, to ensure we do not again see the absolutely scandalous sights that took place in Dublin Airport over the weekend. Upwards of 1,400 people may have missed flights and it was an utterly desperate situation for them. We hope the plan will offer some element of security that we will not have these problems again. Do we have those assurances? Have the Government and, in particular, the Minister for Transport looked at the possibility of using security staff or other personnel with the relevant skill sets within State services at the airport, as required? We need to make sure we do not see sights like those of last weekend in the future. We must ensure Dublin Airport is operating as it should be and that we are not an international laughing stock.

I agree with the Deputy on the need to make sure the scenes that happened last weekend do not happen again. There is an onus on the DAA, as a semi-State company, to organise its human resources and to develop the capacities required to ensure what took place does not happen in the future. That certainly must be done in advance of next weekend.

I know that the Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and the Minister of State, Deputy Hildegarde Naughton, have been in discussions with the company, and will be every day, with a view to doing everything possible to avoid a recurrence. It is unacceptable for passengers, including families, to have what should be for the majority of people an enjoyable experience turned into what it is.
