A plan is underway for a departure of a different kind from Dublin Airport.
A bird has taken up residence in Terminal 1 with staff and authorities working on way to get the starling back in flight in the wild.
The airport says the bird is perfectly healthy and has plenty of access to food and drink.
It is thought the bird has been living in Terminal 1 for over a month.

"But the airport team is on the case and - in consultation with wildlife and bird experts - a process is underway which will get the bird safely on its way very soon.
"In the meantime, the public can be fully assured that the bird is getting plenty to eat and drink and is healthy.
"The safe return of the bird to the wild is a top priority and we thank the public for leaving its rescue to the professionals," it adds.
The public are also being asked to name the bird with suggestions so far including 'Birdie Ahern', 'Marlin the Starlin'' and 'Mark Zuckerbird'.
Another person simply suggested 'Graeme', to which the airport replied: "He’s too cute to be called Graeme."
DAA Media Relations Manager Graeme McQueen had his own take.

Edinburgh Airport has also chimed in with its suggestion of 'Flyin O’Driscoll'.
Has anyone asked to see his birding pass?
