What exactly is causing this? Is it Russia invading Ukraine? Genuinely curious..
Its just the way the staff are being treated
Yikes!! Nobody should be treated badly.. 😢
Not as bad as the Passengers at the Airport 🙄
What a chaos!
Never seen anything like that anywhere. In any Airport.
Obviously you have not been to many airports recently.
Manchester has had queues that took over 10 hours - it's down to "only 3-4 hours" at peak now. Stansted and Heathrow have 2-3 hour clearance on average. Birmingham is utter chaos this week.
At least Dublin has put some controls in to stop people crowding in the terminal building itself which is why the queues are outside.
The average time to go through security this morning was under an hour because of how they did crowd control. So maybe check the context of a picture before assuming the worst.
Airports all over Europe are also having issues due to higher security clearance and lack of staff.
Spain in particular, but also some German airports esp Frankfurt.
I was in Spain last week, was through Customs in Minutes. The way it should be
Excuse me, maybe I haven't made myself clear. I'm not assuming, I'm simply saying that this is a disaster and out of control. And yet is not only Dublin Airport at the moment. This is a stage of chaos that no Airport wanna go through. Holidays are coming, summer is knocking on the door. I can't believe the fact that they weren't expecting this to happen.
For anyone considering applying or shortlisted for ICO at Dublin airport, morale is very poor , roster is horrible, its anti social and anti family.
If your a single lad in your 20's, well and good, go for it.
There has been a high turnover of staff in the past few years, long shifts, poor conditions provided by the DAA for DOJ personnel at Dublin airport.
A friend of mine only stayed for 12 months and he got a transfer out a few years back before the new contracts came in whereby you are stuck for a minimum of 4 years.
Ive no ill will or malice btw as Im currently and already working in the public sector.
Just feedback Im getting from many sources out at the airport currently.
Can you elaborate on why the morale is poor. Is it due to bad management?
The pictures were from before the airport in general opened.
The average time to get through security was less than an hour at the absolute peak and in most cases less than 45 minutes. That's real people giving their times.
Mid morning it was under 20 minutes.
So just be careful of looking at a photo and making assumptions.
Article printed on 9th April 2022, photo taken days ago outside Dublin airport terminal.
T1 seems to be the major pinch point. That said my cousin had an Aer Lingus flight to Rome this morning at 06:20am and got to the airport at 3am just in case there was a back log. He just texted me from Rome, said he got there too early , T2 security Q was fine.
So it just seems to be T1 security is the issue, heard DAA are short of 200 security personnel.

If you go through this thread and check out User's Aoife1049986 and Briscoe1979 they have outlined in detail why the morale is poor.
Staff are exhausted and almost burnt out and it's not even the full summer schedule yet out there. High levels off stress and lack of staff are causing illness levels to increase . Its a very worrying time out there for ICOs with no support
Any news? It's been a while.
Staff cant wait to get their calling for HEO, Customs, WTC ,Visa and others. Probably gonna happen over the next few months
FitFoods.Fruit.Milk.Will Solve All Problems.Sure Can't Even Get A Break Anymore. Can't Wait. Till 1stJuly With Reduced Hours. Work 8 To 9 Shifts. For Free. Hopefully. They Stock Lube In The Macine. Because Going Home 1Hour Early. A La Local Arrangements Will Always Win. Unions A Joke .I Mean For Judas Christ Sake They've Know For Months. But As Stated Local Arrangements (Insert EyeRolls) For Staff To Accept That. I Hope Everyone. Gets Out While They Can. All The Best.
Ahh Brisco would you get a grip. Yes shift work takes some getting used to, not for everyone. At least now management are making a bit of an effort to feed the officers on duty, a far cry from a few months ago when there was nothing. Maybe the job isn't for you. Stop bitching and whining and move on, rather than bring the whole place down.
😅🤗
Keep the banana. What about the ICO? Any incoming? Haven't heard from them for a while.
Recruiting at the moment.
only a small number of new recruits joining, about ten i heard but more than double that will be leaving over the next month or so
:-L:-L:-L

What are you talking about local arrangements, the only people benefiting from this are supervisors, treating the job like a part time hobby.
Thanks. What stage would they be in at the moment? Clearance?
Omg! 10 bodies only??That's a tight number. Has the training started yet? Or they're still doing clearance? I have no idea on what's going on anymore. Has anyone here got a call or something?
Curiosity, how many people have applied for this position? Any guess?
I know someone who was contacted in April and submitted all their clearance documents then.5 weeks later and the only thing outstanding is the DAA clearance which was said could be 12 weeks.
