There has been condemnation from Northern Ireland politicians after a video emerged showing a number of people appearing to chant pro IRA songs in Dublin Airport.

The social media video appeared on Saturday, but it is not clear when the footage was taken.

Former First Minister Dame Arlene Foster criticised the scenes and said: “I know there are many good people in ROI who will be as outraged at this behaviour in a public place as I am.”

Northern Ireland Minister Steve Baker said he is "deeply shocked and concerned to see this behaviour in Dublin airport."

and that it is "profoundly disrespectful to the victims of terrorism."

A spokesperson for Dublin Airport said: “DAA operates Dublin Airport and its core responsibility is to ensure the safety and security of passengers and to operate the airport in an efficient manner. The responsibility for passenger behaviour in this instance rests entirely with the passengers in question.”
