A man has passed away at Dublin Airport in an event being labeled a 'personal tragedy.'

The individual, thought to be from another country, passed away on Sunday afternoon.

Sources have informed Irish media that there is no indication of any wrongdoing, but information about the incident is limited.

Earlier today, police reported that they were responding to an ongoing event at the airport.

An Garda Síochána shared an alert on social media shortly after 1pm, informing the public about possible disruptions stemming from the ongoing situation.

The announcement noted: "Dublin Traffic Update: Gardaí are present at Dublin Airport due to an ongoing situation and would like to inform everyone that traffic in the vicinity is impacted."

They informed drivers about possible interruptions to their travel and advised that 'drivers should be prepared for delays in the area.'

The post was eventually taken down from X, but the reason for its removal remains unclear.

A spokesperson for the Garda confirmed in a statement today: "Police and emergency responders were present at the location of an event that occurred at Dublin Airport on Sunday, November 17, 2024."
