Gardai warns vacationers about sharing travel plans online because “houses are vacant”

Gardai warns people not to share their travel plans online or post them while they are away when the house is vacant.

The na warning was shared online, and Gardai advised the general public to be careful about what they post online abroad. This is because it may warn “malicious people” of their whereabouts.

“Many of you will go on holidays in the coming weeks. If you go away and your home is vacant, your travel plans can be shared with malicious people, so We also ask you to pay attention to what you share online, “the statement said.

Gardai advised people not to post about future travel plans or share photos or updates while they are away.

They encouraged vacation visitors to respect the privacy of others and not to tag others without permission during the vacation.

Gardai also warned people to consider turning off location sharing settings in camera and phone apps.

This is because Dublin Airport continues to experience very busy times as many people travel abroad to enjoy their summer vacation.

Last weekend was the busiest weekend at the airport before the pandemic.

Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) said 50,000 to 55,000 passengers left the airport daily last weekend as the school was closed due to summer vacation.

Kevin Cullinane, Head of Communications at DAA, said these high numbers will continue during the summer.

“This will become the norm on a daily basis now that elementary schools are breaking up. We look at such numbers every day for the rest of June and July,” he said. ..

The advice remains the same. Passengers must arrive two and a half hours before short-haul flights and three and a half hours before long-haul flights.

Those checking in baggage will need to add an additional hour to this.
