That is 3.3 million more people than in 2014 - a rise of 15%.

The increase is largely down to 22 new routes at the airport along with extra capacity on 40 existing routes.

Dublin Airport Authority are in the process of hiring 350 new staff to deal with the increasing passenger numbers, and are reviewing plans to build a new runway at Terminal 1.
