Politicians and business figures from Cork, Kerry and Shannon have called for an increase in flights going through regional airports after passengers were "immersed in chaos" at Dublin Airport. 

The Dublin Airport Authority (Daa) has faced harsh criticism for queues that saw over 1,000 passengers miss flights at the weekend.
