Each check covers the base adult allowance on the linked page. Your route, cabin, benefits or operating carrier may change the allowance.
Add your packed bag dimensions to compare them with this airline rule.
Some airlines include only a smaller underseat item with basic fares. Larger cabin bags can require a paid bundle, priority service, or eligible ticket.
Aer Lingus publishes 55 x 40 x 24 cm for the cabin bag, and at the gate the sizer frame decides — not your tape measure. Enforcement varies by airport and crew, but a bag within 1 cm of any limit is always a gamble. Hard shells can't squeeze and soft bags bulge once packed — leave yourself a margin.

dimensions
Aer Lingus publishes 40 x 30 x 20 cm as the physical personal item limit; it has to fit under the seat in front of you. This describes size and storage only, not ticket entitlement. Aer Lingus does not publish a weight limit for this bag — the size frame is what gets enforced.
dimensions
Aer Lingus publishes 55 x 40 x 24 cm as the physical carry-on limit; it goes in the overhead bin. This describes size and storage only, not ticket entitlement. The weight allowance changes with fare type, so check your ticket.

context
Aer Lingus is a full-service carrier based in Ireland. Full-service carriers typically include both a cabin bag and a personal item, but weight gets checked more often than size — keep an eye on the kilo limit as well as the frame.
