Anyway. LDY serves a broader catchment than the city of Derry. A lot of users come from Donegal. And, as I’m sure you’re aware from your frequent trips to Derry, the road remains a disgrace, regardless of what Google suggests. BHD is likely a lot handier to access for the majority of the population of Belfast. Should we close Aldergrove as a result?
Both BHD and BFS are privately run and don't depend on the government or ratepayers to subsidise them.
Amazing how many people commute on that road every day and that the Airporter service runs to schedule despite it being a cart track
Last time I looked Donegal was not part of Northern Ireland nor where those working there UK taxpayers! This is UK government money, if Mr Varadker would like to contribute maybe he could
ask Pascal to cough up a share of the £2.5 million subsidy.
