Passengers who arrive too early for their flights at Dublin Airport this weekend will be put in a designated holding area as part of plans to avoid travel chaos this bank holiday weekend.

Dublin Airport fell "extremely" short of its obligations to passengers due to a spike in passenger numbers and the absence of 37 staff, its CEO will tell an Oireachtas committee as he outlines what the airport will do so the scenes are not repeated.
