Ireland airport liquid rules
4 airports · 0 with a recorded check · 0 with source guidance only · 4 unknown
It depends on the airport. Dublin allows containers up to 2 litres each (per container, not in total); Cork keeps 100ml in a 1-litre bag. Shannon's recently announced change is still under review here — pack to 100ml there until confirmed. On a return trip or US preclearance flight, pack to 100ml if you're unsure.
Rule basis: Manual source reads (not recorded checks): Dublin Airport security pages and FAQs, Shannon Airport Group's 7 September 2026 announcement and Cork Airport's security page, read by Codex in October 2026. Our Shannon rule is still under review. 0 of 4 airports in Ireland have a recorded source check or editor approval; 0 more have source guidance without a recorded check. The rest default to the conservative 100ml baseline.
What to do: Pack to the stricter rule on a return trip — the airport you fly home from sets the limit, not the airline.

Traveller warning: the airport you depart from sets the rule, not the airline. On a return flight you'll face the rule at the airport you fly home from — which may be stricter than your outbound airport.

Ireland airport liquid rules — FAQs (2026)
What is Ireland's airport liquid rule in 2026?
Dublin allows containers up to 2 litres each, with liquids left in your bag; Cork keeps 100ml containers in a 1-litre bag, presented separately. Shannon announced a 2-litre-per-container change on 7 September 2026, but our Shannon rule is still under review — pack to 100ml there until confirmed.
Does Dublin Airport have a 2-litre liquid allowance?
Yes. Each container can be up to 2 litres, with no limit on the number, in both terminals and at connecting and self-transfer checks. No clear plastic bag is needed. For US preclearance, Dublin's pages don't state a liquids allowance for the extra US screening — confirm with your airline.
Does Shannon allow 2 litres?
Not confirmed here yet. Shannon Airport Group's 7 September 2026 announcement describes containers up to 2 litres each, with liquids and electronics left in your bag, and doesn't say whether a clear bag is still needed. Our Shannon rule is still under review, so pack to 100ml in a 1-litre bag until it's confirmed.
