Peppy Dublin Airport worker goes viral for keeping security queue entertained

By Fiona Frawley

Dublin Airport worker Dermot is our new hero.

We all need a laugh in those 5am security queues. Dublin Airport security worker Dermot has gone viral for singing, dancing, and doing pretty much anything he can to keep early-morning travellers in good spirits. In a recent tweet user Colm Kelleher, fresh off a jaunt through the airport spoke of a mystery "showman" security worker, basking in the limelight of keeping the crowds entertained. Colm wrote:

There is a man working at @DublinAirport security who is a showman. Cheerfully calls out hello to folks while running the crew. Refers to children as “bambinos”. Asks about their colourful plastic bottles. Relentlessly peppy at 5am. Basks in the limelight. 10/10.

Dublin Airport, obviously well aware of the "showman" being referred to responded with a video of Dermot hard at work, welcoming crowds and belting out Is This The Way To Amarillo to beat the band. https://twitter.com/DublinAirport/status/1610211415532441600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1610211415532441600%7Ctwgr%5E7f1ea9fd10c8a2bcd818f248498561256c8addc7%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-7370462251947650316.ampproject.net%2F2301031703000%2Fframe.html Admittedly, some looked less than impressed - namely the woman directly behind Dermot lugging two giant pulley cases as he attempted to start a conga line. She lightened however, when he pulled back the security divider to allow her to pass through in a more timely manner. Dermot knows the way to everyone's heart, evidently.
