We are on the home straight now for Christmas and as a result, Dublin Airport has been packed to the rafters the last few days as people have prepared to welcome home their loved ones from near and far.
With banners, posters, flags and tears all part and parcel of the big welcome, here are some of our favourite tweets and pictures from the last few days. If you are in the airport in the next few days, tweet us your picture @herdotie.
