Tom,
It's good news that there is a continuing service 'twixt LGW & ORK during the Winter - last I heard easy were suspending all Eire flights - but as you say 5 rotations a day is unsustainable - more's the pity!
DUB-ORK? Well, on a Friday night, it took us 2 hours to get to Kildare from Dublin, there was still a nose-to-tail queue when we can out of the restaurant at 11 PM. I guess they're all off to their little weekend cottages in West Cork. It must take them most of the weekend just to get there & back.
Interesting to hear that airbridges are being installed after all - RYR won't use them anyway. What's wrong with a 90 second dash in the cold, biting wind, being lashed by stinging rain?
Cheers,
TheOddOne
