A video of the plane landing at Dublin Airport with a landing gear malfunction shows a "huge" trail of sparks along the runway.

The incident resulted in air traffic into the airport being temporarily suspended as emergency services dealt with the incident. Thankfully, none of the passengers were injured.

Airports Live TV uploaded a video of the landing to YouTube which can be viewed here. Ryanair told Dublin Live a "minor technical issue" with the nose landing gear of the plane, which flew from Liverpool, occurred during landing.

The plane will be inspected by Ryanair engineers. A Ryanair spokeswoman said: "This flight from Liverpool to Dublin (9 Apr) experienced a minor technical issue with its nose landing gear upon landing.

"Passengers and crew disembarked normally and the aircraft will shortly be towed back to the hangar for further inspection by Ryanair engineers." Dublin Live obtained footage of the buses bringing the passengers to the terminal after they disembarked from the plane.

A Dublin Airport Authority spokesman told Dublin Live: "A Full Emergency was declared at Dublin Airport this afternoon update following the arrival of Ryanair flight FR5542 from Liverpool. The Dublin Airport Fire Service responded, and the passengers disembarked the aircraft normally once the all clear was given by the Airport Fire Officer.

"Air Traffic flows into Dublin Airport were suspended during the incident."
