And during the chaos, a surprise visitor landed on the west apron at the airport on Tuesday, who "clearly wasn't booked on any flight".
Taking to social media, Dublin Airport chiefs said: "A surprise visitor landed on the west apron tonight - a very chatty parrot who clearly wasn't booked on any flight!
"Thankfully, Dave from our AOSO team made a new feathered friend and brought him to the Dublin Airport Fire Station, where he'll hang out until we can reunite him with his owner.
"No holiday to the Canaries for this guy - not just yet anyway!"
One of the snaps shows the colourful parrot trying to steal Dave's ring while he laughed at his attempts.
After his mischief around the airport site, another snap shows the tired parrot being comfortable and resting on Dave's hand.
It is currently unknown if the parrot has reunited with his owner.
Dublin Airport's fans were left gushing over the photos and rushed to the comments to share their thoughts about the surprise visitor.
One person commented: "Awhhh that's so cute!"

I'm banishing my forehead wrinkles at 56 and it's all thanks to a £2.90 buy that's better than Botox
Read on for more anti-ageing hacks SKINCREDIBLE I'm banishing my forehead wrinkles at 56 and it's all thanks to a £2.90 buy that's better than Botox A WOMAN has revealed the cheap beauty buy that is banishing her wrinkles as she sleeps. The 56-year-old woman who goes by Girl Called Dave on social media shared the anti-ageing results in a video clip that left people stunned. Advertisement 2 The 56-year-old shared the anti-ageing buy that put a stop to wrinkles Credit: Tiktok/@agirlcalleddave 2 Dave was left stunned by the results Credit: Tiktok/@agirlcalleddave She woke up and switched the camera on to show people what she looked like after sleeping with the beauty buy on. Dave had small patches of plasters stuck all over her face and just below her eyes. She said: "I've literally just woken up, time to go straight ahead and do this. Okay so this is the scar tape and it's so soft and easy to peel." The beauty buff gently peeled off the scar tape on her face to show her skin looked underneath and the results were incredible. Advertisement Dave's skin showed barely any signs of ageing despite being 56, and her forehead looked smooth with no signs of wrinkles. Even she was impressed by the results. She said: "It's incredibly soft to sleep in. You don't feel it on your face. "Incredibly moisturising, locks in all the moisture and you can put it over your skincare." Advertisement The scar tape cost Dave just £2.90 to buy on TikTok shop but you can also find it in the likes of Tesco, although it is significantly more expensive at £10 a roll. Scar tape helps banish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines as it helps lock hydration into the skin, making it more plump. Dita Von Teese, 51, reveals how she's kept her skin wrinkle-free as fans are convinced she 'looks 30' It also works by stopping the face from moving and essentially temporarily freezes the muscles, to create a smooth look. The video was posted on her TikTok account @agirlcalleddave where it quickly went viral with over 411k views and 2k likes. Advertisement People were quick to take to the comments claiming they purchased the buy after seeing Dave's results. One person wrote: "I have tried most things in a bid to fight the fine lines on my 48 year old face, I'm hoping this works." Another commented: "I've just ordered based on your results, hoping it helps my smile lines." "Wow amazing!" penned a third. Advertisement How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings. She told Fabulous: 'The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves - no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with. 'The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us. 'All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.' It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing. Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel. Whatever your age or state of health, it's never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you. Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing. Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants. Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration. Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Thank you, I just bought it. I can't wait to try it." "YOU LOOK GREAT!' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "It's going in my basket."

Man 'over the moon' after climbing Ireland's tallest peak 15 times in a row
A man from Meath spent the Bank Holiday weekend repeatedly scaling Ireland's tallest peak. Over 42 hours, avid hiker and mountaineer, Daniel 'Dann' Cooney, climbed to the top of Carrauntoohil in Co Kerry 15 times in a row, all to match the height of Mount Everest, which stands at 8,848 metres. When asked how he was feeling a couple of days on, he said "a bit worse for wear, I'm not going to lie - but absolutely over the moon". He thanked those who supported him and donated towards his goal of raising €15,000 during the endeavour. But that figure was exceeded: "As of this morning, we're on €17,400, which is absolutely incredible." Speaking on RTÉ's News at One he said the money will go to different animal rescue shelters around Ireland, with the hope that each one will receive "maybe €1,000". Describing his experience, Mr Cooney said there were plenty of "ups and downs," lack of sleep, all kinds of weather, including getting "hit with all four seasons in the space of two hours". "I won't say it's the best experience of my life, but it was very, very rewarding to see all the people come together. He said he is "going to take it easy for the next few days," adding that the state of his feet is "not too bad at all".
