This seems logical.
You’ve been away on holiday with your mates, you arrive back to Dublin Airport feeling wrecked and all you want to do is get home.
However, there are a few steps to go through after the plane lands on the runway and one of them is going through passport control.
You may have just spent the week drinking peach schnapps in Gran Canaria, but walking up to that window and producing your passport always feels like something from Argo.
However, the experience at Dublin Airport is going to be a little different next time because 42 civilians have started working at the passport control there today.
The appointments have been made to ease delays in the area, and to allow garda resources to focus on community policing.
The plan by the end of the year is that 80 staff will be in place, and that the gardaí currently manning the passport control can return to frontline duties.
The change makes a lot of sense.
