A total of 115 flights were cancelled at Dublin Airport as of 8pm yesterday evening due to high winds brought by Storm Amy. Meanwhile, 18 inbound flights were diverted to other airports, and many outbound and inbound flights were experiencing delays due to the weather conditions affecting several airports across Ireland and the UK. This resulted in many passengers stranded at Dublin Airport terminals awaiting rebooking arrangements following cancellations or waiting for their delayed flights.
Downing Street has denied that the government's returns deal with France is in chaos after plans to forcibly remove from the UK people arriving in small boats were abandoned for a second day. Asked by reporters if the latest delay meant the so-called one in one out agreement was a shambles, the prime minister's spokesperson said No. The response came after plans on Monday and Tuesday to fly rejected asylum applicants to Paris were dropped.
