Shanwickman wants to "Let the others get on with their business." Yes, the attitude we know so well from the airport in the midwest. Browbeating yet another Minister for Transport, Cullen to promise the world to snn and now sticking it to Mannion of Aer Lingus too. "Let others get on with their business." Ah, yes, it all adds up now.

Decades of weakness at Cork has not helped. Cork Airport should be beating down the door of the DAA for more ramp, more runway and a CATIII navaid to stop the heamorrage of business and diverted passengers from Cork every year and I am sick to my eye teeth of hearing of every conceivable excuse being trotted out to keep Cork down.

Let Cork Airport play a cunning, dirty politics game of it's own. Minister for Enterpirse, Martin should be driven crazy by Cork for aid for the above technical improvments.

The question is though does Cork Airport and her board have the guts for such a game or is just more weakness for the sake of the midwest status quo?
