"The cascading crisis began on Friday night when Collins Aerospace - which provides the check-in and boarding software used by airports in London, Brussels and Berlin - was targeted by a suspected cyber attack, resulting in delays to flights. Some airlines in Dublin were still checking in passengers manually yesterday amid the continued disruption and at least 13 flights in or out of Dublin that used Terminal 2 were cancelled."
"In an unrelated incident, an estimated 12,000 people were evacuated from Dublin Airport's Terminal 2 for about 90 minutes on Saturday afternoon ­after a suspicious device was found in the luggage of a passenger in Terminal 2, triggering the highest level of security response. The evacuation began at 11.40am, with thousands of people were shepherded to set-down areas outside the terminal buildings while gardaí and the Defence Forces' Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team examined a piece of luggage."
