I though the issues were the check in desks and baggage handling now?
About a month later…
“Eamon Ryan deploys army to Dublin airport”
Way back in 2019 I’d have laughed at the possibly of that headline. Now in 2022 I had to have a look at the article to make sure we weren’t being invaded by Belgium or something.
Finally the Irish army seeing some action. There’s going to be a few unfortunate lads with PTSD after it though.
Post Travel Stress Disorder – they’ll be terrified whenever they see suitcases for the rest of their lives.
I don’t think shooting people is the answer.
They’ll do anything to avoid paying a living wage.
If we listened to people, we’d get rid of them.
A huge part of me laughs whenever I hear ‘deploy the army’: I remember when it suggested with the luas strike, heavy snow or flooding, hospital overcrowding. The government’s get out of jail free card.
Seems like a good use of the army honestly. Put them to work helping out with something critical that isn’t being properly managed.
jaysus the yanks will think the troubles are still alive and well
In non public facing areas so assume baggage handles or logistics of getting people actually working on the security lines.
The best bit in the queue last Sunday was the sign saying 40mins from here to pass security. What about the other 40mins it took to get to the sign. And the sign wasn’t wrong. Thankfully I had done the bag drop the night before as the queue for the bag drop was out to the exit door and they wouldn’t let us in to the terminal at 5am.
Would the role the army does in the airport garner a higher wage than what they get paid as a member of the army? Plus who is paying the wages the DAA?
Jesus they’ll be in Tesco next
Maybe instead of bailing out the banks we should have just had the army run them instead. This is no less ridiculous.
