A number of people sustained minor injuries after a lorry collided with several cars at Dublin Airport, prompting disruption for travellers.
It is understood the incident, outside Terminal One, happened after the driver of the lorry experienced a medical emergency.
The multiple collisions led to disruption at the airport, with roads closed and people facing long delays to access the area or exit car parks.
The roads reopened at 10pm, around two-and-a-half hours after the incident.
