here's a snippet from d'Indo:
Cork Airport is due to open a new €163m terminal early next year when the existing terminal is due to be used as stores or, perhaps, office space.
Ryanair has suggested that Cork devote the existing airport to low-cost carriers.
Michael Cawley, Ryanair's chief operating officer, said: "There is no point in having an asset there which is not generating revenue. In the current year Cork probably has enough growth. It is currently carrying 3m passengers a year. But this has the potential to grow to 5m or even 5.5m passengers, and that's not even factoring in population growth.
"We have already given plenty of business to Cork," said Cawley, who is himself a Corkman. "We'd like to expand on that but we can't do that until Cork becomes competitive and I think that Cork Airport understands the problem. It knows it needs to be competitive."
Joe Gantly, the chairman of Cork Airport, which is in the process of establishing itself as a standalone entity, declined to be drawn on the use of the old terminal. He said: "We are currently exploring a range of opportunities but it is far too early to be drawn on possible uses (for the old terminal)."
if it was as simple as PP all he had to say was "we talked to MOL and told him it couldn't be done for PP reasons"
