Among those passengers travelling through the airport are children returning from abroad to their loving families to celebrate Christmas together.
Dublin Airport captured one emotional family reuniting on camera, posting a video of the heartwarming moment that Shauna arrived home for the first time in 15 months. Her mum stood with a Christmas themed banner full of welcome home greetings as she awaited the arrivals.
“This mam hadn’t seen her daughter Shauna in 15 months,” it said in the video as the mother waited for her daughter.
“She arrived early and kept a patient eye on the arrivals doors, she waited and waited, she wondered if they’d ever arrive. And then the moment finally came! Mam and daughter were together again.”
There were smiles and tears as the pair embraced with a big hug reuniting for Christmas amid thousands of other arrivals at the airport.
This isn’t the first emotional reunion in the airport this Christmas. Just days ago, mam Grainne and dad Shaun welcomed their daughter Megan, and her boyfriend Carwyn, home from Sydney for her first Irish Christmas in three years.
In another video posted to Dublin Airport, Grainne shared: “We’re Grainne and Sean, we’re waiting on our daughter Megan to come home from Australia.
“She’s bringing her boyfriend Carwyn from Wales, he’s never been to Ireland before, and we are super excited!”
