for revenue, Shannon would have to be giving some pretty bizarre routings for aircraft to avoid UK airspace.
Balix where are you looking. Take a route from London to LA and a quick dodge into Irish airspace and go from south east to north west into the NOTA ... out to 15 W and pay your 55 pounds to Shanwick and a bit to Iceland. You have just saved a fortune and cost NATS a mint. Take every other route similar and drag the traffic away from the UK charges and replace with Irish and you see where it starts to lead ?
Sure the Irish have a radar. One the EU paid for and one we couldnt get access to.
Theoretical jobs ? Take at least 3 per watch off Scottish as soon as the routes are established. Increase our charges to the remaining airlines and see what they do.
And this is only the start. The Single Sky is all about encouraging this and who is the only privatised ATC service which can be bought out ??????
