However, they advised anyone who owns a Japanese import to consider fitting old-style steering wheel locks to secure their vehicles.

Daa, which operates Dublin and Cork airports, said it can't rule out knock-on effects for Irish passengers from similar problems in the coming weeks.



Four in five people in Ireland agree so-called “junk” food advertising aimed at children should be banned, a new survey has suggested.

That’s according to new research from Safefood, which suggests there is a broad awareness among the Irish public that obesity “poses a serious public health challenge”.
