Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport was evacuated on 20 September 2025 after a security alert triggered emergency responses from airport staff and authorities. Dozens of emergency vehicles and a large crowd of anxious passengers can be seen outside the terminal in footage shared by George Harwood.

The evacuation was confirmed as a precaution by Dublin Airport officials, with the Defence Forces’ bomb disposal unit placed on standby amid the uncertainty around the nature of the threat. Local reports say no further details have yet been released about what prompted the alert.

This incident is not connected to the recent cyber-attack that affected several European airports, including Dublin, which disrupted check-in and boarding systems. Authorities state the terminal evacuation was a separate, localized security matter.
