Nine flights have been diverted from Dublin Airport due to high winds.
A number of other flights are also experiencing delays, and passengers are being advised to contact their airline directly for flight updates.
The airport's operator daa said eight of the flights were diverted to Shannon Airport and one to Birmingham Airport.
Eight of the nine flights that were diverted have since been able to return and land at the airport.
A daa spokesperson said they landed at other airports, refuelled and then returned to Dublin.
The ninth flight is now making its way back to Dublin Airport.
"Challenging wind conditions are impacting on flight operations at Dublin Airport this afternoon," said spokesperson for daa Graeme McQueen earlier.
"The changing direction of winds and strong gusts have required a number of runway changes over the course of the day and the airport's teams are working closely with airlines to get passengers on their way."
Mr McQueen said that "while winds are due to ease as the day goes on, further knock-on delays are possible".
Met Éireann said wind strengths today were not exceptional but they were unusual in some other respects.
"The runway at Dublin Airport is orientated east-west and that causes a problem because the winds today are from a straight southerly direction, creating cross winds for the flights," said General Meteorologist Brandon Creagh.
"Dublin airport doesn't normally experience winds from this direction and the strength of the gusts are what's causing the problem," he said.
He said gusts of up to 30 knots/55 kilometres per hour were occurring but this was below the threshold for a yellow wind warning.
Mr Creagh said winds are expected to moderate over the next three or four hours.
