Getting your suitcase to Dublin Airport is to get easier, with plans to trial a new off-site bag drop service next year.
The Dublin Airport Authority is currently looking for a delivery company to test the plan, which would allow passengers to securely leave their luggage at different points in the city.
The bags would then be delivered to the airport by a courier and automatically checked in.
Graeme McQueen is a spokesperson for Dublin Chamber, he thinks it's a welcome move;
"I think all the time we are trying to make the visitor experience in Dublin and in the other Irish cities better, so the idea that you would be able to drop off your bag in town, maybe for a flight later in the day, and you turn up at the airport and your bags are there for you that seems to make things a lot easier."
He says it's an idea they would like to see pursued.
Passenger Numbers
Dublin Airport has experienced strong traffic growth over the last number of years with record passenger numbers of more than 31 million passengers passing through the airport in 2018.
Between October 2018 and September 2019, the daa handled nearly 8 million check-in bags through its baggage system.
