No more news about the new terminal. Nothing about the runway or nothing about increased cargo facilities. They've very quiet right now.
There is positive news about new services, but without the capacity, we run the risk of making the same mistakes again. The govt made great play about the importance of trade with China and India (Bertie) and the new bilaterals with Singapore and Thailand (minister), but we've seen no movement on anything.
Unfortunately, political attention has been focused on the M50 and the troll issue(or was it tolls?) Anyway, they're just not focused on aviation - nor, unfortunately, are the media or the opposition, so little wonder that the govt can get away with such a pitifully inept, disinterested and visionless aviation policy.
There's a lot of negative media comment about the minister, who really doesn't seem up to it, but Bertie put him there - with clear knowledge of his record. It can't help, at cabinet level, with cabinet colleagues likely to dismiss any innovations/developments more readily ... if there were any, of course.
