Holiday makers face severe parking issues at Dublin airport this weekend

Customers heading on holidays this weekend are facing parking issues if they haven't pre-booked ahead of flying.

The DAA has repeatedly said it has resolved security issues at Dublin Airport for this summer.

They are facing fresh issues as their car parks are full for the next few days.

All car parks are now full, however it could be resolved if a nearby privately owned car park opened up.

The DAA has asked passengers who do not have a booking to find other transport options such as taxis or public transport.

In a statement released on social media, Dublin Airport said: "Parking availability will be extremely limited in the upcoming days, with all car parks sold out and expected to be full.

"Kindly consider utilising alternative transportation options."
