Security Lapse Dublin Airport Passport Control

liverpool100

Just wondering was anyone at passport controlin dublin airport this sunday evening around 10.40pm

The que was building up fast a male made a run for it through passports without showing Id, The guys in one or two boots got out to run after him. took them 10/20 seconds to hit alarm

40-50 seconds later a second male which looked to be a friend of the first male also makes a run via empty security booth, They were after the first guy towards baggage hall I dont know did they realise the second guy also came through

Anyone know were they captured?

To me they police had totally taken their eye of the ball, when guy one made a run for it, their was defintely time for the next 50/60 people to make a run as well if it was planned(total lapse in security)

I went out via baggage no shutdown in arrivals, i taught it would automiticaly shut doors to find anyone on run

Why would they make a run for it? I dont get it as if they were illegal the airline would of looked at there passports before they boarded there flight or am i missing something here.

the airline would check they have a valid passport and boarding pass, they dont check visas or other official documents, thats what the passposr control place is for

i wonder if anybody knows if it is possible to go through to airside if you are not flying anywhere. i am asking cos my teenage daughter will be flying alone from dublin. i will be bringing her to the airport and would like, if poss, to go through with her as far as the gate as she is nervous about going it alone. she will be able to if push comes to shove but if there was a way around it i would like to know. i dont know where else to post this query . thank you.

Book a cheap Ryanair flight for around the same time, print off your boarding pass et voila - you can accompany her airside. Part b of my plan is less clear - getting back out - but I know it's possible because other people have done it.

It's possible in the old terminal, wander down to what used to be section A (now gates 201-220, I think), but I don't know about Terminal 2.

Nope, I work in security screening in T2 and you cannot get airside without a boarding card, absolutely no way around it. She'll be fine, we see people like your daughter every day. It'll help build that little bit more independence without mammy there too

On the topic of passport control - that's up to the gardai to deal with, it's their area. The DAA have no control over it. From what I can see, they don't have enough guards for both terminals.

Was is T1 or T2 it happened? In T2 they have electronic gates you can't get past unless the guard presses a button.
