Delays are expected to continue at Dublin Airport today in the aftermath of a cyber attack which has affected several European airports. 

"The Dublin Airport team is continuing to support airlines today as they manage ongoing disruption from a technical issue that is affecting check-in and boarding systems at several airports in Europe," an online statement said.  "Some airlines are continuing to use manual workarounds to issue bag tags and boarding passes in Terminal 2. As a result, check-in and bag drop may take longer than usual. Airlines in Terminal 1 are operating as normal."

Passengers using Terminal 2 check-in or bag drop are advised to give extra time beyond the recommended two hours before a short-haul flight and three hours before a long-haul flight. 

The European Union's cybersecurity agency said on Monday that airport disruptions caused by problems with automatic check-in systems were caused by a third-party ransomware incident.

"The type of ransomware has been identified. Law enforcement is involved to investigate," said the agency ENISA in a statement.
