Meeting confirms beginning of aviation preclearance facilities for US bound aircraft departing Terminal 2 in Dublin Airport from early next year

These facilities will allow US bound passengers to clear all U.S. entry controls before they leave Dublin airport. Currently only US immigration clearance facilities are available at Dublin airport.
