Re: Re: Airports; how many state subsidised airports are required in Ireland
1. Location – really is the equivalent in location for the west coast as Dublin is to the east.
2. Facilities and infrastructure – ALthough in many ways there are many problems in Shannon with staff numbers etc..the facilities there are excelllent. One Air bridge Cork doesn]
I agree, I think it’s really….just about which regional city can top another. It’s stooopid I guess, but it’s funny. Limerick is competing with the people’s republic of Cork. and Cork is practically bigger than half the country, bla bla bla.
I’d like to repeat that.
Cork people
– think that limerick’s actual population is in Limerick county:D
-Shannon has hardly any other routes beside the millitary/USA traffic
-They even suspect that numbers are lower in Shannon.
– they don’t even realise how much money Cork Airport cost Dublin DDA (which I believe was more of a burden than Shannon)
– They think that Cork does not get enough investment
– an that every part of Ireland outside Leinster and Cork, is underdeveloped.
On top of that they believe Cork has more reasons to keep it, there people from the midwest believe they have more reasons to keep it in the midwest…
It should have being titled SHANNON vs cork.:D
Let’s not forget. while ALL the other regional cities including Dublin were leading the Celtic tiger boom, Cork had only started to take off in the last few years.Now it’s like Cork can take on Galway/Limerick or the rest of Ireland.
