Calls for airports security review

A nationwide security review of all airports is set to be launched amid concerns the alleged people smuggling at Dublin Airport means Ireland is “wide open to a terrorist attack”.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny confirmed the review after Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin warned that serious airport security defence failures may be putting the entire population at risk.

On Sunday night, gardaí arrested two Aer Lingus workers and a third man in connection with an alleged long-running people-smuggling scam at Dublin Airport.
