Dublin Airport has warned passengers of a change in security rules being implemented this weekend.
The daa (Dublin Airport Authority) announced that in order to be in line with temporary changes issued by the EU, new regulations regarding the carrying of liquids will start on Sunday, September 1.
The changes will affect passengers travelling through both Dublin airport terminals, with the rules differing in each terminal.
The new rules mean all departing passengers will have to keep all liquids, gels and aerosols under 100ml and remove them from their hand luggage.
The changes come as the rollout of new C3 scanners removed the 100ml liquid limits, with passengers also allowed to keep laptops and liquids in their hand luggage.

Below are the changes in detail for both terminals.
In Terminal 1: All liquids must be under 100mls, put into a clear 1 litre bag (20cm x 20cm) and placed visibly within the security tray.
Each passenger is limited to a single 1 litre bag only. Large electrical items such as laptops and tablets should be removed from bags and placed in the security tray.
In Terminal 2: All liquids must be under 100mls, put into a clear bag(s), and placed visibly in the security tray.
However, in Terminal 2 there is no limit on the number of bags or 100mls containers that a passenger can take through, while all electrical items can be left in hand luggage.
The changes apply to all airports in Europe with C3 scanners, which are being rolled out currently in Dublin Airport.
The regulations differ between both Dublin terminals due to the different stages of roll-out in each terminal.
The roll-out of the scanners takes longer due to the age of Terminal 1's building, however it is on track for completion by October 2025.
