apaddyinuk,
I know this is slightly off the topic but regarding your comment about the lack of shamrocks at the regional airports. These public service routes were and are heavily subsidised by the irish govt. If you were cynical (not me obviously

) EI management could have received political pressure albeit at a time when it suited them to come off the routes and give them to smaller companies from the west of ireland who needed a bit of guaranteed income to get them going. Hence no shamrocks at the regionals.
