PARTING SHOT

Dublin Airport has eased its old rules around liquids thanks to new scanning technology.

From midnight, passengers travelling through security in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 will no longer need to remove liquids, gels and electronics from their hand luggage.

There is no limit on the number of liquids and gels that can be carried in hand luggage, and the old 100ml size limit on liquids and gels has been increased to two litres.

Passengers will also no longer need to pack these liquids and gels inside clear plastic bags.
