Flights in and out of Dublin were cancelled this morning due to an Irish Aviation Authority radar issue.
Data from the flight tracking website, Flight Radar 24 showed flights due to take off as still on the runway and arriving flights holding off landing.

The issue has been resolved, but Dublin Airport has said that there will be knock-on delays.
This issue has now been resolved by @IAApress & flight operations have resumed. There will be knock-on delays due to the system outage.

People were not happy about it and took to Twitter to express their annoyance.
Passengers restless on my flight, we’ve been on board waiting for more than 70 minutes. #DublinAirport https://t.co/tX78cMQAgN

Just been given a slot to get airborne - speculative and the very best case scenario (unlikely to happen)

Take off 12:12 to land at 1 (earliest people can land)
By which point I will have spent a minimum of 5 hours on a plane, 4 of which are stationary.#DublinAirport

Quick glance suggests there have been no departures for almost an hour now. That’s a large volume of ppl if true. #Radar issues @DublinAirport https://t.co/v7JQTrblkv
