Last week or the week before a body speaking on behalf of Irish hotels were calling on the Irish government to make Euro 10 million a year available to attract business to the areas around snn, presumably in a post stopover type scenario.
There is a general election due in 2007 if not before so if the FFers give in to the millions of Euro request Cork can forget about the North Atlantic for a long time.
And anyway, if snn gets euros Cork will get only pennies.
Sad but true.
