The Government has been accused of being "asleep at the wheel" at Dublin Airport, leading to a "national embarrassment".

Sinn Féin's Pearse Doherty made the charge to Transport Minister Eamon Ryan during Thursday's Leaders' Questions, saying that both Daa and the Government had been warned that a redundancy scheme carried out in 2020 would lead to a staff shortage at the airport.
