Minister of State at the Department of Transport Hildegarde Naughton has said the daa has reported to her that no flights were missed over the bank holiday weekend due to delays at Dublin Airport.
Speaking to RTÉ's Morning Ireland, she said the measures put in place by the airport operator to avoid a repeat of the chaotic scenes the weekend before "appear to be working well".
Ms Naughton said that Friday saw the highest number of passengers yet this year, back to pre-pandemic levels, with 51,500 passengers.
There were 45,000 on Saturday, almost 49,000 yesterday and 49,500 passengers are expected today.
"This is not just about this weekend, I am asking the daa to do whatever it takes to ensure that the summer months ahead are a success for the travelling public, as passenger numbers continue to increase," she said.
The daa's Media Relations Manager Graeme McQueen said it has been a "busy but smooth" weekend overall, with almost 200,000 passengers departing Dublin Airport between Friday and today.
He said the large numbers flying out this morning have "moved well", with all passengers passing through security screening in less than 60 minutes in both terminals.
Mr McQueen said current security screening times in both terminals is under 10 minutes.
Minister Naughton said the daa is hiring 30 new staff every week and "ramping up the resourcing within the airport".
By the end of this month there will be an additional 370 staff within the airport, she said, which will bring the total number of staff to 821 by mid July.
A further 100 will be hired during July, bringing the total workforce to 920 at the end of July.
The minister said that this would be a larger number of staff than was in place in 2019, pre-pandemic.
She said she understands that some staff who have worked overtime have not been paid for it but she said she has received assurances from the daa that these underpayments will be resolved over the coming days.
