Dublin Airport's Terminal 2 evacuated after fire alert

A smoke alarm was triggered at a café, and a section of the facility was evacuated as a precautionary measure.

A SECTION OF Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport was evacuated for a period this afternoon after a smoke alarm was triggered at a café.

Hundreds of people were told to leave the building when the alarm was raised shortly after 1pm.
