I went to Ireland just last month, and I have to say that the Airport was significantly better than what it was 2 years ago. This news puts a damper on my raised expectations.

One incident lowers your opinion of a busy international airport?

Ummmm, yes? How often does such incident happen? Seems like not that often. I don't remember ever hearing of such incident.

I would be a lot more worried about runway incursions.. You know, like the 7 that have happened so far this year in the US..

You likely just went through the newer terminal 2 that time but it's been open 13 years already.

Also depends how exact 2 years ago is. From the beginning of covid until a few months ago it was quite understaffed as they didn't bother keeping staff training/certifications up to date as they didn't expect demand to pick up so quickly as it has.

I have to say that pre-covid, Dublin airport has been one of the better airports in my experience. Security was among the fastest of airports I've been in, decent variety of shops behind it, flights departing smoothly
