Dublin Airport is to trial new technology in order to speed up queues.
The airport is to use facial recognition technology next month in an attempt to speed up security checks.
It's hoped the technology will make it quicker for passengers to get through checks at arrivals and departures.
DAA's Frances O'Brien said: "We are really pleased to be an early adopter of this new technology, designed to further enhance the experience for both our passengers and our airline customers at Dublin Airport.
Extra 19,000 US and Canadian tourists visited Ireland in first two months of 2019
“We are delighted with the early progress of the trial in testing so far and we look forward to extending the technology to a wider audience, including passengers travelling to the US in the coming months."
Ireland's busiest airport is taking part in the trial along with Bristol Airport in the UK.
Passengers are to be given the option to take part in the SelfPass process. It's reported that Ryanair may be one of the airlines that will trial the new technology.
Christopher Forrest, of Collins Aerospace, added: "For example, it takes less than one second to capture and process a passenger's facial image and eliminates the need to repeatedly present travel documents.
"We see this as another major leap forward for our biometric technology to play a key role in making the connected aviation ecosystem a reality."
The Irish Mirror contacted Ryanair for comment.
