A global cyber outage is being blamed on a software update that's gone wrong.

The outage, which is linked to Microsoft Windows and cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, is affecting airports, banks and newsrooms across multiple countries.

Ryanair has warned there are disruptions across their network due to the outage, and are advising all passengers to arrive to the airport three hours before their scheduled departure.

NCT centres in Ireland are also affected, with test centres and online systems currently experiencing problems.
