A Cork photographer says he was one of many passengers left stranded in Amsterdam after missing his flight due to lengthy security delays at Schiphol Airport on Monday.

Brian Lougheed of Ballinora, arrived at Schiphol Airport three-and-a-half hours before his 21.40 Aer Lingus flight to Cork was due to depart - yet still missed it because of a delay at airport security.
