Queue cleared quickly after talks

AT the height of the disruption, the queue of more than 1,000 disgruntled passengers snaked around the departures’ area at Dublin Airport.

When all the talking was done and fire-fighting and security personal returned to work, the queue was cleared within 20 minutes.

All 26 flights in and out of the airport carrying just over 3,000 passengers were suspended between 2pm and 3pm when the mass meeting of SIPTU workers took place.
