The outage is also causing problems for Ryanair and NCT centres across Ireland
A global cyber outage is being blamed on a software update that's gone wrong.
The outage, which is linked to Microsoft Windows and cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, is affecting airports, banks and newsrooms across multiple countries.
Ryanair has warned there are disruptions across their network due to the outage, and are advising all passengers to arrive to the airport three hours before their scheduled departure.
We’re currently experiencing disruption across the network due to a Global 3rd party IT outage which is out of our control. We advise all passengers to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before their scheduled departure time.
