    In fairness there would be no point in scanning the tickets as they were free and anyone planning an attack could have gotten as many tickets as they wanted before the event. And as for checking peoples bags well they were expecting up to half a million people on the day. That's about six times as many people as use Dublin airport on your average day. Checking the bags of that many people would have led to huge delays and backlogs. An airport is designed to check people and the security area is designed into the airport but the Phoenix Park wasn't designed for that. Besides that the terrorists would simply detonate their explosives in the backloged crowd long before the security screening which would have caused just as many causalities. I'm sure the Gardai have an idea of potential terrorists in the country and they would be monitored during the build up to the visit.

    My main security issue was the ridiculous notice sent by OPW/Gardai to people in Church St that they could only have four people in their house and these needed to be registered in advance.

    It was ridiculous because there was no way they could enforce it. They can't enter any house just to check who's there, and they can't limit the number of people in any house - it is literally none of their feckin business.
