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.
That would be Dermot, who certainly does his best to put a smile on passengers’ faces at #DublinAirport every day. Here he is in action recently… 🎶 https://t.co/WNwWwNhrGB pic.twitter.com/cD6uIXU0vs

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.
