Shamrock350, it was put out for tender earlier this week.

I imagine it'll be a two-horse race between Emerald and the current operator, Amapola.
Amapola are currently operating the route on a temporary basis utilising a Fokker 50, whereas Emerald will likely use an ATR42/72, so I'll be amazed if Emerald don't win it.
