Dublin Airport says it is "on track" to have security staff at full capacity by June, with queues now "stabilising considerably" from the significant blockage that saw passengers wait for hours in March and April.

Data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) show that just over one million passengers departed from Ireland on various overseas routes in March, up 34% month-on-month.
