In a statement, the DAA said: "A power issue which impacted on operations at Dublin Airport for a short period on Sunday morning has now been resolved.

"An ESB power outage in the North County Dublin area resulted in a loss of power in parts of Terminal 2. The nature of the outage caused an issue with the airport's back-up generators, which resulted in some delays for passengers checking-in at T2.

"Most flight operations continued as normal throughout the incident.

"DAA apologises to all passengers who were inconvenienced by this morning's issues.
