Both Boeing 737 planes were departing from the airport when the collision happened. While one of the flights was heading to Edinburgh, Scotland, the other was heading to Charleroi, Belgium. Both flights were said to be carrying 100 passengers each.
The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) confirmed the incident and said that the Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU) of the Irish Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport had been notified and will conduct a further investigation.
In a statement, Ryanair said: "Two of our aircraft were taxiing slowly to the runway at Dublin Airport this morning. The winglet of one aircraft appears to have scraped the tail of the other.
"There was no impact on customers on board. Ryanair has contacted the IAA and is working with them to return both aircraft to stand and allow normal operations at Dublin Airport to resume."
