Oh, great - and I'm going to Ireland next month? Jeez........

Missing luggage belonging to air passengers has ended up in the dump at an Irish airport. A whistleblower, who requested to remain anonymous, shared photos with UTV, which showed a handful of suitcases placed in and around a large trash can for disposal outside a warehouse full of lost bags at Dublin Airport in Ireland. 

The photos were taken a few days ago in an area used by baggage handling company Sky Handling. It appears that some of the luggage has been opened.

"There have been a handful of cases where bags which have not been recovered and which contain perishable items which are attracting vermin, whereby the bags have had to be removed to be destroyed for health and safety reasons," Sky Handling said in a statement to UTV.

 

The company has allowed passengers to come to the warehouse at Dublin Airport to see if their luggage is there.

Sky Handling didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. Dublin Airport told Insider it has no role in baggage handling and advised us to contact the ground handlers.

There are 4,200 lost bags owned by air passengers at Dublin Airport, according to UTV. Sky Handling was dealing with more than 2,800 pieces of luggage at the airport, per UTV.
