How could Kerry possibly be in a position to be a viable airport to cover the whole of Munster. Considering Kerry falls into Shannon and Cork's catchment area and the pitched battle taking place between both for pax how can it possibly expand? What airline is going to throw itself into that cauldron? The centre of population in Munster is Cork and that is where the future of air transport lies in Munster. Had FR got the PSO they possibly would have tried Kerry as a Cork West but not now. I can't see the Dept of Transport investing €8m in KIR, to compete with the development of Cork, and Shannon, just up the road. Hopefully I will be proved wrong!
