Gardaí are expected to raise concerns with the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) over security procedures at the airport following the detection of apparently suspect components of an explosive substance in hand luggage during security screening.

Gardaí are concerned that airport procedures may point to a vulnerability in security, which may include gaps in communication between DAA and airlines in such scenarios.
